I felt a heart beat in my womb That marked the pulse of time The rhythm of this sacred room Defined a child of mine It was a mirror to the past A sound pure and divine The blood that filled a little heat Passed through this heart of mine The lifeline of my ancestry To which I have been heir Will weave the sinews of her heart And ribbons in her hair Beat, little heart, your thumping sound Through head and hand and limb An infant’s breath is soon to silence Every angel hymn Elizabeth Santos |

Hello there stranger. This is nice, makes me wonder what it would be like. Nice write The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Liz, I adored the first 4 lines ~ "I felt a heart beat in my womb That marked the pulse of time The rhythm of this sacred room Defined a child of mine" ~ and every line that followed thereafter. Yours is a very loving mother's heart.  ~ and your pen expresses it so beautifully.  Love & Mother/Baby Light, Linda  |

I have no heartbeat in my womb It's been replaced with the cacophony of all the beating of the world But I remember that first beat still. |
