Best Sonjoy Poems
In LOVE she conceived of you.
With JOY carried you.
And with PRIDE birthed you.
In LOVE she always conceives of you.
With JOY carried within.
And with PRIDE born of who you are.
In LOVE always conceive of yourself and others.
With JOY be carried through life.
And with PRIDE in who you are
Be the true expression
Of this mother's heart.

Heart Warmth
My hands too tired to write, motionless they fall
Mind and soul lethargic and dull, I watch the show
Life spinning-me sitting-watching the leaves tremble
in rays of light hidden from my window
I rest, wait for my soul to heal
wonder at my raising breath and listen
for sounds of joy to inspire my heart to beat
the pitter patter of his slippered feet,
my babies joy to dry this weep.
