Eyes so wideand full of innocent wonder,
I see through his eyes,this fresh spell I’m under,
Everything is so surprising and new,
I can’t wait for all the things we could do,
The pain and the anguish of having a child,
Compared to this joy ,the pain of it is mild,
I’m still in pain but he eases it all,
Everytime I look at him again I just fall,
Again and again I fall more in love,
He was my saving grace from above,
I was falling further and further down,
Then came this bundle that turned it all around,
A fragile little creature that depends on only me,
Now its love to show,and a milion smiles to see,
You pour on the loveand there’s no time for crying,
The selfishness ends and there’s only time for joyfull sighing.

There’s something very
There’s something very special about a mother’s love.
After my mother died, I found a handwritten notebook with a number of poems inside. I knew she was writing something, though she kept them private, because she had asked me to draw a cover picture for her book. These are two of her pieces - the second one about me:
————————————
Counting blessings one by one
My treasure chest it overflows
I did not lose and give away
But gained and found
A love that wraps me round
Son and daughters are they all
And deep within the heart of me
I’ll keep them safe until eternity
————————————-
Dimpled hands clutching at my heart-strings
Now grown big, creeps beneath my elbow
Guiding me through life’s highways
Remember, son, I love you well
So remember me in the dead of night
As we went hand in hand through life
Now they are gone and in their place
Nothing but despair: but, at least,
There are marks to show that I passed through
