Sandra Haight Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

New Love

I run my fingers down his cheeks,
     then hold his wrists, one in each hand.
Profound, deep love within me speaks...
     emotions overtake command.

I take his hands within my own...
     his fingers bend and tightly grasp
with tenderness for me alone;
     in wonderment of joy, I gasp.

His splendid thighs, so soft but firm
     delight my senses to caress,
down past his knees to feet affirm
     his perfectness of form is blessed.

But flawless toes I now behold...
     a miracle beyond compare.
My baby boy, just born, I hold;
     newfound maternal love, declare.
