    Babe in Arms 

    He lay in my arms heavy
    asleep
    his face begins to tense
    a frown at the corners of his mouth
    he’s being pulled back to this world
    from his sweet dream place
    fearfully he opens his eyes
    he stares into mine
    relief
    his lids drop
    his body goes limp

    the power of momness

    Speaks to me in so many ways. Momness. I like that. Beautiful poem, Patty.
