Light shines through the elastic, <br />My eyes open and close drastic <br />like a broken hinged door. <br />A high shriek pierces the air and then <br />I am out and brought into Earth. <br />Lab coats and mouth mufflers stare <br />and talk about some alien birth. <br />The air hugs me and I am brought <br />eye level with my mum. <br />My fingers persistently curling <br />around her shaken thumb. <br />Her eyes and her smile make me feel <br />like Shakespeare on his opening night. <br />And in her arms, instantly, I knew <br />everything was going to be alright.<br /><br />Jared Gobey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-to-my-mother-3/
