Jeriah

 

 

~

I linger longer when the moment is hushed in an embrace.

I kiss more readily the smooth of his infancy.

I listen intently to the rhythm of his dreams.

Not because I love him more, because I have learnt the lesson of loss

Nine months it took untill I held him,

Whole

And I knew he was here to be with us forever.

And now another nine months has been given.

This life that leaves my heart hanging precarious,

Fully fallen so vulnerable deep with

Love.

My heart so delicately wrapped into this precious life.

Blessed

To be this babe’s

Mother
