I made the choice to give you life

And you gave life back to me

More than I can ever express the gifts I have from you

Affirmation

As the busy week draws to an end
I allow myself the delights and luxury
of indulging in a quiet reverie

A special chapter

You two were my reason for bothering to try

You two were my chance to be giving

You two were my purpose, my inspiration

There she stood

Motherhood

Clearblue

Not

Miss

Understood

We

Will make it

My baby

And I

We

Will be fine

You say

It's not

Bloated like a gas balloon
nauseous from dawn 'til noon
prone to unexpected tears
joyous laughter, hidden fears

Pangs and twinges,
