Mother and Baby
Borne as heart of a Rose
In mirrored reflection;
“Mother” too often spoken in prose
Diminishes the natural connection.
Great Spirit of all existence;
Provided warmth by the Sun.
So blessed is She - eternally
In every conception begun.
Divine miracle of light;
The infinite story is told.
Grand assimilation - unite;
Such a sight to behold!
Mother and baby in arms
Applauded and extolled
Single and sole as life can be
Granted briefly from Infinity….

Sheri, what a very beautifully written poem and as you say, prose never seems to do justice to the loving connection of a mother and baby in her arms. But your words very nearly meet that goal. I loved it!. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us here on Whispers.
