I'm sitting here
On my nest
More accurately
On my eggs
I'm praying
I'm waiting
I'm sitting
I'm loving
My eggs will grow
Life develops
I'm keeping them safe
Love envelops
I'm praying
I'm waiting
I'm sitting
I'm loving
I'm giving my all
I always will
I'm now a mum
Sitting her still
I'm praying
I'm waiting
I'm sitting
I'm loving
Can't wait to hold them
In my arms
These kids of mine
I'll keep from harm
I'm praying
I'm waiting
I'm sitting
I'm loving

The photo is a doll created by the very talented young artist Isabelle Rolles; -thanks for the muse Isabelle.
Very up-beat and powerful, as if a chant of well-being. Thanks for visiting me as well.
