The world is beginning once again as I hold you in my arms
Your skin is soft, your eyes are blue 
Your hunger cues a soft alarm
The world becomes much larger as I see it through your eyes
Your wonder, your confusion
Become my elation and surprise
The world grows more beautiful as I watch your lovely face
Your smile is fresh, your heart is pure
The world, I'm sure, is a better place
 
January is a great time for new beginnings.  I just had my third baby in October of 2010 and in a couple of days we will celebrate the second birthday of my first daughter.  I am hoping to post more often this year.  I have to learn how to use this blog more effectively.  I am still trying to get the basics down.  The poem I wrote above could be used for a greeting card or you could just email it to a friend to congratulate them.  It expresses my feelings as a new mother with each new child and I am sure that many new mothers feel this way.   
I do enjoy writing poetry.  I resolve this year to write more poetry and share it with you.

Michelle, this is a lovely poem. And as a fellow mama of three, I can sympathize with your feelings.
ReplyDeleteI felt the same way about my son. I'm sure I will always feel this way.
