Heart's Embrace

Wrote this after my son was born in '88 but also with my Mother in mind as well.

She strokes dark, wet hair
With a shaky finger
Breathing a sigh of relief
That he did not linger.

The newborn baby boy
Had just made her a Mom
He was such a beautiful child
And made her feel so calm.

Mothers deserve so much more
Than just one day a year
Embrace your Mother with your heart
The bond will become clear.
