Motherhood

Petite fleur

First you were very delicate
Sleeping soundly on me only
The beat of my heart as your calming white noise

Then you grew a little
And a little more
Your legs now hanging down towards the floor

So I got you by my side
And you nested your little head
In the comfort of my nurturing breasts

Slowly but surely
You became confident
That no matter what
I’d always be there

Nourished by my infinite love
Your trust grew strong
To get a tiny bit further
And snuggle back as may be

You turned yourself to the moon
Looking up with dreamy eyes at the night sky
Lying next to you I did the same
Your growth was also mine to undertake

Like a butterfly opening its wings
Mirror to each other we joined another realm
Flying with guides and angels
With the trust of those who live their destiny with strong faith
