Nine months later the child was born.
The birth was on the same day as the husband’s death.
Although on this day she did mourn,
It was also a day she celebrated new breath.
The sex of the baby was a boy, like the father had told.
The baby’s features resembled everything of the lover’s.
She smiled and cried looking into the eyes that gleamed gold,
Then wrapped him up in the husband’s clothes to be new covers.
A tear fell off her cheek as she leaned down and kissed.
Then the little boy cried from a loud breaking sound.
The nurse came into the room and picked up a photo in assist,
Which had fallen off the table and broke on the ground.
The mother looked at the photo and frowned in distraught.
“Perhaps it’s from the stressful birth and my mind is mistaken”.
Still looking a the photo thinking, “but it’s not the one I had brought.
This is one I have never seen and I had not taken.”
The photo was of the father and the newborn baby.
“He really must have sent down our son,” she thought.
The nurse told the woman that it was a sign maybe.
Then she saw some writing on the back her eye slightly caught.
On the back it read, “With our son, you’ll always have a part of me.”
A tear fell as she remembered how her husband was killed.
Having read this she realized what he wanted her to see.
Hugging her son close once again heart felt filled.
Often times she thought of moments of being married,
And the likeness between her son and husband started to grow.
He developed all the traits her husband had carried,
And she realized how much her husband did show.
The boy wasn’t even 6 before she started her intentions.
The feeling with her husband and son to her where the same,
And she sometimes saw her son as her husband with her sick mind dimensions.
Soon her love for her son was like her and the husband’s old flame.
As the years went on, so did the mothers molestations.
The boy thought nothing of them, although it felt wrong.
He never spoke to his friends of his mother’s orientations.
Till he found a girl that he felt he was to belong.
