An orphaned mom

when you were just a spec
I realized it but not felt
then I saw you on screen
my whole body vibrated
you kicked first time
I was thrilled
you kicked again
I waited for every kick
you grew inside me
it was a divine feeling
finally the months
inside me were over
umbilcal cord was cut
we were separated
you came into my arms
my creation
kicking, giggling & smiling
on the first day I felt like creating divinity
watched you grow day by day
then a storm came into my life
we were separated
the cord was cut again
the mom was orphaned…
