Blessed with child

a flower she blossoms;

her arms outstretched

reaching to be desired,

 

trying to balance her life

her once burlesque figure,

those well rounded curves

giving way to a yearning,

 

not of wealth or success,

just a family is her fortune;

and a meeting of minds

with a love of her own.

I loved the roundness and honest yearning - 

'not of wealth or success,

just a family is her fortune;

and a meeting of minds

with a love of her own.'

Lovely, Jenny.

I liked the intimation that family means a meeting of minds and love, a sharing openly but combined with understanding and sympathy, and to take part in such is riches. Rhiannon

Glad you liked the poem Catherine, it's so nice when you have someone to reach out to that understands, glad you got what I was trying to convey.

Hi there Rhiannon,

you are so right about family, also when you have found your soul mate that understands where you're coming from, it can make your life so much easier.

Appreciate your thoughts and thank you for your words.
