Happy Mother's Day

Excerpt from This Too Shall Pass


Poem is called I Melt

I Melt

When I see your eyes

I fall in love all over again

Never thought I would feel like this

Though I carried you

Saw you grow within me

Seeing you lie on my chest

I Melt

When you open your eyes

Looking at me as you nurse from my breast

I smile because I love you

You are my legacy

You are my world

I Melt

The blessing of the birth of a child

Some take for granted

Some don’t want to go through it

I look at you and I can’t imagine

Your tiny fingers touch mine

And I …

I Melt
