Blink.
That's all he did.
Underneath those full lashes.
His innocent eyes, searing my soul.
Amazed I was, at his silent blessings,
When his small hand, wrapped my bigger one.
If I dared looking away,
Those hands would pull my gaze,
Tears would gather in his eyes,
Dampening the rosy cheeks.

How could I look away?
This divine being tying my fate,
With a bond greatest there is.
A life was placed in my hands,
The embrace right there...
Had me reincarnated.
Into a mother.

A mother who had a child finally,
Even though he wasn't born
In my warmth.
I promised to cherish,
The person he is to become.
