The Second Phase

When you hold your child close to your face,

Then looking at his tiny body you bring him still close.

You were a wife then, now a mother, beginning of your second phase.

As you hold him to your chest, the love just flows.

The transition is complete, now you start.

 A new inning as a mother, now a period  of   knowing,

Your child is now a part of your heart.

You feel  happiness  your face is glowing,

 Your Child stares at you, then suddenly  

 smiles,  the most beautiful sight on earth.

 This smile is for you mom, the child seems       to say,

Your heart misses a beat at this miracle of    birth.

You silently kiss him, to say, you made my day.

When a part of him and a part of you became one,

Then the seed of life was sown, within  you,   it's true.

Then a miracle started taking place in 

 you.

Nine months of happiness, solitude and fun,

Then your scream crying out in pain,

The unbearable painful pangs of conception, 

 You will go through this pain again and             again,

 To experience the birth of your child, once

 again, with great affection.
