They plunge into life
**** oxygen in their lungs
Cough up the water
Cold and alone-scream
Light burns their delicate eyes
Yearning for our touch
Accelerated pulse
Panic screaches from their lips
I hold my hands out
Grasp them in my arms
Press their pale pink flesh to mine
Show them they are safe
Plant them with a kiss
The storms calm inside their brains
Heartbeat to heartbeat
They flutter their lids
Comprehend and recognize
Love wholeheartedly
I am their mother
They are prefect-everything
They are my children.

They plunge into life
**** oxygen in their lungs
Cough up the water
Cold and alone-scream
Light burns their delicate eyes
Yearning for our touch
Accelerated pulse
Panic screaches from their lips
I hold my hands out
Grasp them in my arms
Press their pale pink flesh to mine
Show them they are safe
Plant them with a kiss
The storms calm inside their brains
Heartbeat to heartbeat
They flutter their lids
Comprehend and recognize
Love wholeheartedly
I am their mother
They are prefect-everything
They are my children.
