Maternal Musings

A bundle of joy at my bosom
Two hearts beating in tandem
A life entrusted to my care
To love and mold with dare

How do I shape this urn
Every touch, spin and turn
Of the wheel is unstoppable
Final silhouette unpredictable

His eyes twinkle and ensnare
A toothless smile in a face fair
Tiny hand clasping my thumb
No fear at all of abandon

The trust in me is profound
And his love for me sound
I must stand the vital test
To reinstate him as the best

The instinct to craft a being
Is like no other undertaking
Once you set it in motion
No stopping, just caution!!
