Rest

a quiet prayer
for you
sleeping
I see the baby kicking
your pale face exhausted
yet resting
your arm on your belly
not ready yet
rest
sleep

Luv your answer to the blog on Tell it to the Judge... all this controversy over contests and points and stuff.. I view it all as a place to share my poetry and enjoy other poets poetry.. not this back biting stigma that is starting to surface on the Soup.. bravo Veronica for this great answer... also enjoyed your poetry .. starting with a quiet prayer.. we need that on the Soup more and more.. blessings.. luv..
