No mother could read this without a tug to her heart strings. Great work.

I remember all those exact same feelings, when I held my daughters for the first time. Well done, in capturing such a myriad of emotions.

You know I love this poem, but I love it even more because I've heard you read it. Ever think of submitting with audio? It's even better to hear you speak the feelings than it is to read your beautiful words, which is saying a lot.

~lucky

it tugged at this mums heart. very nice!

I think your poem would be even better if you omitted the last line. The theme is already obvious, and it is not really needed. - Just an opinion.

to try and capture that moment. My son and I spent the first hour of his life together in ICU. The placenta burst prior to delivery and they were being extra cautious. It scared my wife and I, but everything turned out fine. Wonderful Mat.

Now here's a nice little verse

about a subject so dear

to Moms everywhere.

A new mother's reward ~ all pain forgetten at the first sight of her newborn Son.

Nothing tugs at a mothers heart strings like that first look at her newborn child.
