Baby and Mother
~The Baby~

I am here; waiting, hiding.
There is much I feel,
Much I don't understand.

I don't know fear.
Never have I cried.
Seen your face, no.

Your face, I wish I knew.
I can feel your heartbeat, as it is one with mine.
My heart grows with love.

Love is new, as I grow.
I can feel it, it's comforting to me.
You cry, I can hear your voice.

Your voice sounds endlessly in my mind.
My mother, I know.
There is a pain.

The pain is the end for me, I know.
Your heart has stopped, no longer I hear your voice.
I now know fear. You are gone and so am I.
