Newborn
My heart shifted
It made a room for you,
never to be empty.
I held you- soft and warm,
a tiny bundle,
bald and bawling.
How in a moment
did this bond bubble up
between us?
So strong –
I would kill
to keep you
safe.

Congratulations! I know just how you feel. Beautifully written too 🙂
Thank you Gilly 🙂
A room never to be empty…yes. So true. I love the way you make surprising and true images from everyday words.
So lovely to hear your comments, sometimes it feels I’m writing in a vacuum, with no idea how i’m being received. So thank-you.
