The beginning of a newly found life <br />A radiantly, beautiful soon-to-be mother <br />A face that radiates beauty, grace, and glows <br />Now turned to the pains of labor <br />Breathing, screaming, and pushing out the baby child <br />A child that she loves <br />The father cries in jubilation <br /> <br />She stays at home as a housewife <br />With the bright-eyed Christopher <br />They have so many laughs together as he grows <br />Especially when she tucks him into bed and puts him under his cover <br />Christopher grows up to be a bit wild <br />Soon reaching for what he deserves <br />Making his parents look at him in fascination <br /> <br />Christopher has never caused his parents any strife <br />Even though he always touched his mother with his sticky fingers <br />Even now, he still wonders about rainbows <br />He has fallen in love with the girl that is next-door neighbor <br />His girlfriend is an exquisite Fairchild <br />His parents and girlfriend support all of his choices <br />A tear falls from his mother’s eye as he walks across the stage for his graduation <br /> <br /> <br />(4/24/07)<br /><br />Stacey Gibbs<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-ode-to-the-glory-of-motherhood/
