BABY GIRL

Earlier, I kept watching the poui pink and pretty

Blossoms giving life to skeleton branches wise and witty

So much so I smiled without knowing the reason why

And cradled my baby still in my belly in a way so shy

My first time becoming a mother

How would I know i was carrying a daughter

A child I think who knew me from long ago

Then came November, our first meeting, love aglow


Cradled there in my arms

Suckling so sweetly exuding her charms

She, with her hearty appetite

That was a November love at first sight.
