Cecilia Macfarlane Poet Rhyme

Motherhood

A newborn is placed….
tenderly in your arms
Instantly you are mesmerized….
by their sweet charms
The intense pain of birth….
instantly melts away
Replaced by euphoria….
that is hard to keep at bay
Blessed to behold….
one of life’s greatest treasures
Nothing before now….
compares or measures
Your priorities have shifted….
in a subtle natural way
Unspoken promise to….
cherish and protect every day
A brand new human….
that you will shape and guide
A new mother you have become….
fills you with joyous pride

Beata Agustin May 18, 2024 at 6:09 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your "Motherhood" thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
