I see a mom

I see a mom
newly pregnant
and with a pram
and a tiny tot too
nicely decked out 
in the mild summer Sun!

I see a mom
safe in her momship
with a smile playing
on her heavy lip

watch her tiny tot
play in the mud 
that she is fascinated by
dig deep into the earth
with her fingers bare
measure out the tiny clods
that her weeny strength fare

I see a mom
with no cares in the world
with nothing to hurry her along
allow her tiny tot
linger along the path
stare at a flower
on the untrodden path
tiny but white 
oh so beautiful
know not what goes on
in the tiny tot's tabula rasa

But oh what a sight
to see the mom
allow herself and hers
the luxury of all
a moment of reflection
a moment of unhastened pure joy

Out comes a sigh
at the ecstacy of it all.
no regrets at snapping this moment
on my heart's canvas
forever and forever.
