A little bit

How is it that when I hold
this tiny
lovely creature
my heart just feels
ready to burst.

This little creature
so demanding
in its wants
and needs

And yet,
when I look at her
I feel wonder,
that she
is a little bit you
and a little bit me
mixed together.

And the joy
she fills me with
is like no other joy.

I guess that's love.

    Beautiful. Birth is very beautiful. I wish that I knew what this sort of love felt like. The most raw form of love. Completely unconditional. :] Great job.

    Thanks for entering and good luck in the contest :]

    Ohhhhhh that's so beautiful -

    I've always wondered what it must be like to feel like that about a baby ... particualrly as I don't think I ever will feel that ...

    So beautiful, gentle loving ....

    Thanks for sharing!

    I was enthralled at first by the graphic. (lovely border by the way.) The writing is lovely too of course.

    awsome poem

    It is hard to express well enough the love we have for our children. this is a great stab at it. I enjoyed it very much, the honorable mention is well deserved thanks. Nic

    And the joy
    she fills me with
    is like no other joy.

    I guess that's love

     

    I guess you're right

    The love of a Mother or Father for their child has no equil!!!

    Eros love will always take second place.

     

    This was a beautiful expression of the highest form of there is.

    Well done.

    That is definitely love. I am not a mother but I hope to experience that love for my children someday.

    I thought this was a sweet little tribute to babies. I don't like babies, but this was a precious poem. Excellent write and good luck in my contest.

      beautiful pictures I agree. The top one is the picture prompt in the contest. The others made by a friend. All are beutiful. I am glad that you like this one. I was worried at first when I first started writing it. I just couldn't think of anything. Then pop this just comes out. Glad that you liked it.
