Breaking Water

 Motherhood is like that winter storm

When everything comes to a halt

And no one knows what to expect

And things are done, when they are done 

The snow creates a white blanket

To lay the child, the baby's head 

The wind murmured a lullaby

Of love and care...

The water breaks like falling rain

And droplets freeze in the crystal clear

Window of a hospital bed 

Soon, very soon, we should hear:

Hey! Guess what? Baby is here! ©Gloria photo Gloria

The Rose Bud

 A new rose bud comes,

wrapped in a blanket

 of cold and snow

A tiny ray of sun and love

That shines and brights

The darkness  nights

The excitement builds

The wait seems long 

Nine months

And rose bud 

has not come

What it will be?

How it will look?

Nobody knows

But there will be 

tears of joy 

for a new life

Another hope 

To a better start,

Perhaps...

So much potential 

In such a tiny one!
