My Joy (Original Poem)

 I watch her while she sleeps

 Peaceful 

Knowing she is loved 

Knowing she is special 

I tell her everyday   

Her hand moves to scratch her nose 

I remember she is mine 

Nine months of us as one 

A hope of many years side by side   

Her chest rises up 

And I breathe out 

She is whole 

I am blessed   

I tuck the blanket under her chin 

Press my hand on her shoulder 

This is my child 

This is my hope 

This is my joy
