True Radiance

True Radiance

There is no glow as bright as a mother
With her firstborn in her arms;
Disheveled like the sun rays
Of a child’s Crayola sun.

A smile that stretches and freezes for days,
Except while her eyes turn down and gaze
Upon that radiance of her loving babe
Eyes to eyes in love.

Hi Sunlite, how true your words are. Beautiful sentiments lead to a wonderful poem. This has to be a seven Sunlite. The glory of a mother and child. What a wonder to behold. Hugs....Mike. XX
