A poem.
You came in with power
Earlier than expected
In your perfect divine timing
You’ve been exploring this new body
With fervor and desire
To know it
To inhabit it
To explore its edges
As it grows
And I’m witnessing you
All along the way
I feel a fidgeting,
And I know you need to pee
I feel a restlessness,
And I know it’s time to burp you
Another expression
And it’s milkies time
I get to learn you
Every step of the way
And it goes way beyond
The basic survival needs
Of feeding and pooping
And peeing and burping
I get to learn your emotional intelligence too
Of feeling your eyes rest into mine
As you smile into my heart
Speaking volumes about what you know
You gaze up at me while you feed
And my smile reflects yours
Grinning as you gulp
The milk spilling out the corners of your lips
Our adoration
Envelops one another
My face has become
A beacon of safety
Familiarity
Reassurance
Just like yours has been
A signal to me
Of innocence
Purity
Reverence
And cosmic bliss
We swim in these waters together
Lost in the sea of timeless wonder
And curiosity
I gaze at you with sheer awe
And satisfaction
And honor
that I
get to be your mother
The perfect choosing
