A daze, after pushing a life into being.
Then sleep, deep and soft and wholly
lost to time.
When I awoke, I’d forgotten you’d arrived.
Dawning realization bright and warm
as the sunrise, butterflies in my newly empty
tummy, I turned on my side and sighed
peace and joy and disbelief at how perfect
you were, snoozing in a little bucket
next to me.
I scooped you up, my Lewis,
and I gave you kisses.
Your tiny nose was shaped just like mine.
My heart was filled to the brim.
