Safely tucked away, we begin to grow

Fed through love and a need to nurture

Our arrival is all that matters & we are worth celebrating!

We shed tears for joy but silently weep for days gone by

Where did the time go?

Who is that child before me now?

Age may change the features

Time may alter the connection

But a mother's love for the baby lives on forever

She leaves it tucked safely, in the heart of the child
