In my world of flesh and bone,
There are a few who know I write
I even let them see a poem,
When by chance I get one right.

By one of the few, I was inquired,
Why I had not written,
Of a first born of a first born,
A baby boy with whom I’m smitten.

I had no answer because I’ve tried,
And in my efforts failed,
I know not why my muse has left me,
High and dry, my words curtailed.

In my mind, there is no answer,
Except for one- it’s to me occurred,
Perhaps some feelings are too strong,
To write with mortal word.

Yes, perhaps they are.  I have the same problem writing about my children.  This was so sweet a poem.
