Unborn Tanka

I’ve seen the freezers
where they store the mother’s eggs
where the unborn sleep
cradled in maternal dreams
cribs of baby fantasies

I was almost afraid to look at this one because of the title but I am glad I did....So many couples would give anything to have the loving sounds of a baby in their home...beautiful write Susan
