A Mothers Bliss
The most amazing thing
I have ever seen
Was the sight of my boy?
For the very first time
Those little hands
And tiny feet
With soft brown eyes
That melted my heart
His skin was soft
His smile so sweet
It made smile
To at last know my life's
Worth while
I was to scared to hold him close
To afraid Id break him some how
But when I finally did
It was a mother's bliss
The joy he brought me
Was beyond anything I'd known
To hold him close
Was a dream come true?
And that one singular moment
Now lives on in my heart
