Newborn

The tiny being nestled snug in his mother’s arms, warm and content with a full stomach.  She gazed down at his soft, round face with a look of tenderness.  Her eyes radiant with love.

“Such a handsome boy.”  She said stroking his hair.

The small bow of lips twitched with the beginnings of a smile and she grinned at the wonder of the life she had brought into the world.  A bundle of milk scented, gurgling, wiggling warmth.


Through her mind ran the thought of future play with cars and blocks.  To be dismissed in this quiet moment of closeness.
