She kept him swaddled up
Against the cold
Against her chest
Where he could easily
Reach her breast
Against the cold
Against her chest
Where he could easily
Reach her breast
He snuggled in
Rested his chest
Against her heart
Which she loved
She could feel
Her heart beating
Against him
She could feel
His heart beating
Against her
She had asked
Every question
She could think of
Considered
Every aspect
Of bringing
A new life
Into the world
But nothing
Had prepared her
For this emotion
This feeling
This insight
He had left her body
But he remained
Deep
Deep
Inside her
And there
He would always
Remain
