Anticipation filled with synchronised
pain and exuberance.
I could feel you struggling hard to come.
I'm waiting for you, baby.
You made it, finally.
But...they are taking you away.
Where are you taking him?
I want to see him, touch him,
feel him.
I wait in desperation.
A nurse arrives with smile.
She lets me hold you.
Oh, my little human!
Your glowy face looks so pretty
with that cutesy toothless smile.
The warmth of your fresh and fragile body
embraces me as I press you to my bosom.
I wish I could capture
this moment of euphoria.
As I kiss your soft belly your
sweet giggle reminds me of my mom's lullaby.
Your dulcet baby talks tranquilise my senses.
Tiny fingers of yours
playfully caress my lips and cheeks.
You laugh, I laugh.
I will cry, I will.
Let my salinity of happiness creates
a sea of blessings for you.
I'll cherish you forever,
I vow to protect you
from everything dark
and shower you with
warm sunshine.
Today, with you,
I also gave birth to a mother.
