| Changing Grace By Amanda N. Maurer I've lost my grace, little one. Since your arrival, my shoulders have slumped, My hair is uncombed, and I cannot be engaged In polite conversation because my tired mind Lacks the energy and my gaze perpetually wonders Away from the speaker to you. But what is grace? I observe another new mother, and she is beautiful. Social graces were important to me once, But not so much anymore. My shoulders are curved in a warm and nurturing embrace As you nurse contentedly at my breast. My eyes radiate a newfound, unconditional love That leaves my entire being aglow. The pace of life has slowed until time stands still And I remember the simple pleasures of a perfect day, Sun shining on my face, smiling and laughing with someone I love. Thank you for reminding me what is truly beautiful in life. I am ready now to give all that I am to you, and All too soon We will both walk tall together. |
