Embryo

Celestial blue sapphires
set behind buttercream eyelids
smoother than honey
and more infinite
than the starry skied heavens
from which they came
curl the bubblegum lip
and grasp a newborn grip
around the most juvenile
of perceptions
which migrate like white geese
and speckled hummingbirds
with clairvoyance of destination
down the umbilical from Mother,
"You are Loved!"

Written for my live at home daughter who just found out she is pregnant with her first child.

The cycle of life is God's greatest miracle.

Beautifully done and wonderfully captivating.

Thanks Victoria...

What a wonderful privilege. I'm pretty certain she won't want the old man there during delivery, but, um, still there's always hope the young one will come around.

Thank you, Joyce....

She's had her first doctor's visit now to get prenatals, etc. etc. and she's about 2 months into her pregnancy. Exciting! Exciting! (I figure that I better write now while I still have a chance)
