In Her Arms

In her arms she held,

A bundle that breathed

Life into her soul

As the pains of delivering a child

Brought tears of joy.

In her arms she held

A priceless piece of her,

Growing into another entity

As the days rolled by

And months turned years.

In her arms she held

The love of her life;

A blooming flower, a warrior in making

Outgrowing her hold

But never straying away from her heart.
