Cold cut through her skin,
seeped into her bones,
and clutched her shivering heart
as its icy grip spread
all over her body.
Stacked logs on the fireplace
could not warm her frosty breath
and heavy blankets failed
to comfort her chilled body.
Then it happened.
A tiny feeble hand
touched her heart
and blood gushed
into her body, filling
her with maternal warmth.
Her cold ears melted
in the soft babble
of cooing noises.
Her eyes trembled open
to soak in the warmth
of the tiny stranger and
she forced herself up
with outstretched arms.
Wonderful imagery! Loved it!
Thank you so much, Versifier

Oh, this is beautiful! Becoming a mother is the best blessing of all!
Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Cherie. You have got a meaningful blog dedicated to taking a stand against bullying. I tried posting a comment in your blog, but couldn’t do so. Good luck with your thought-provoking posts.
Thank you so much. I’m so sorry WP wouldn’t let you post. I’ve had similar things happen myself. I wish I knew what to do about that. Wishing you a happy and prosperous new year.
Thank you, Cherie. Wishing you the same:)
Thought provoking and intriguing ….

Mother and baby are the best gifts gifted to human beings by God.
Yes. That is right. Thank you so much for reading and commenting, Deeksha.
Oh what a lovely piece of writing dear, so beautifully you have penned down what pain a mother goes through but as soon as her bundle of joy is born, all her pain vanishes and only thing she cares about is to see a glimpse of that ray of sunshine. One can understand motherhood only when she becomes one🤗😊❤️
Thank you so much, Samreen. I knew this piece would resonate with you. We appreciate the contributions of my mothers only after we are blessed with a child. Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this.
You are very welcome dear, my pleasure always to read your wonderful pieces 😊 Yes, dear, it has made me even more closer to my mother. ❤️
