One Fine Day

The second he saw me,
he moved and kicked,
his mouth curling in a grin.

It startled me, that spontaneous
reaction of seeing each other.
It’s you; I’ve been waiting for you.

He kept his hand on me,
staring in absorption at my face,
seeking the connection as
much as I did.

Everything was forgotten except
that moment of utter peace
when the bright glitter of
sunshine entered my heart.

I had never known such
sheer joy existed until
they laid you in my arms.
All doubts and fears were
shattered by you,
my sweet son.
