Snow frosts the ground


Snow frosts the ground
I sit at my computer, listening
I hear
children playing and laughing
dogs running from the children
husband snoring softly on the couch
my favorite sounds of the season
in song and otherwise

Snow frosts the ground
I sit at my computer, reading
I read
Stephanie
inspiration




Snow frosts the ground
I sit at my computer, feeling
I feel
sorrow
gratitude
my heart breaking
my heart expanding

my baby moving

Snow frosts the ground
I sit at my computer, thinking
I think
I love that my boys are best friends
I don't mind my sweet girl kicking me in the ribs and hip bones
She's my girl
I am so blessed

So very, very blessed

Snow frosts the ground
Love warms me

That was very nice. I definitely need to get to Pandora more often. And I wonder how I will feel if I find out this one is a girl, since I have two boys?

Your poem is so touching. I think you should print it out and put it somewhere for all your family to see how much they are loved by you. The way you portray a mother's natural love for her unborn child is so tender and sweet. As mother's whether our babies are now 2 or 42, we can all relate to those feelings of purest love for the child we carried in our womb.
