For My Darling Sister, My Punky
I gave Him all thanks when she was born,
my sweet event, my newborn, babe sis.
All that she did, did my heart adorn.
Loving her when seven was valued bliss.
I brought Mom warm wash cloths each change time,
and told her when new bottles were prime.
Joy was snuggling her in bed or a chair.
My Elizabeth Jane's skin was fair,
with a cute button nose and eyes sky blue.
Five ten's have passed and my sis' love stays true.

I woke up this morning with my hair in knots.
Lines on my belly mapping where you had been.
Dishes in the sink glared at me as I walked by.
The stove harboring remnants of last nights dinner.
Laundry remained unfolded in the hall.
The washer crying as I added another load.
Motherhood is ugly...
But today you smiled at me.

Newborn BABY
being held laying on back all day long
crying, wailing waving arms
swaddled and in comfort

Newborn baby please don't cry
Don't blame yourself that your mom died
She perished for you, she had her time
She wanted you to have yours in this life
Newborn baby your mom loved you
That's why she this life eschewed
All for you she happily chose
To bring to life her tiny pink rose
Newborn baby one day you'll see
Your mom committed an act of love for thee
So you may live and be all you can be
And don't forget this, her final decree
Take care of your father he will need you to be strong
Play all day and remember troubles won't stay long
Be kind to your brother and let him sing you songs
And do your best to get along
Remember your mother and her sacrifice for you
And honor her daily in all things that you do
I was watching The Walking Dead marathon yesterday and Lori dies in childbirth. They have to cut the baby out because it's not coming out on it's own. There are no doctors or hospitals so she knows she's going to die but tells them to do it anyway because she can't lose her baby. I was inspired to write about it. I hope you enjoyed.

You can feel the love overwhelm the air,
there's magic floating everywhere,
people stand watching with wide eyes,
the newborn baby as it cries.
A beautiful and perfect baby child,
everything that's happened has been so wild,
but waiting for this baby's birth,
makes the long nine months of so much worth.
A little bundle with eyes so bright,
for the very first time these eyes see light,
with clean pink skin, small hands and feet,
they wrap the blanket so tight and neat.
Family and friends all come to be,
with the baby they waited so long to see,
with smiles and laughs from everyone,
for this newborn baby that makes life more fun!

of its mother frantically
making a bottle
