My Babies

I had babies once, they were so sweet! I loved having newborns, such a precious time, I would have had ten if I could!

Vulnerability

Held in mothers hand
Vulnerability in
All its innocence

Although they now be
Grown, will never forget two
Sweet babies of mine

In response to The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo prompt: “Gone But Not Forgotten”

One-Way Street

Nights that never seem to end
Screaming bundles of fleshly life
Lack of sleep and any calmness too
When living each day brings so much strife

It is a cliche, and I will admit
No new parent will agree
But those early times come and go
Babies lives pass so quickly!

If I could travel future or past
It would be to those early days
When little blessings were afforded me
Time passed by in such a haze

If I knew then what fine people
Those tiny bundles would grow into
I would savor each day and night
My baby gifts, I love you!
