Sweetest Sounds

Velvet words caress
a mother's heart
when her beloved child
starts to say
tender, endearing, heart-melting
lullaby words, sentences
like, "Mama, Mommy, My mommy,"
but the best is
when your bundle of joy
tells you himself/herself,
"I love Mommy."

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this poem about how I felt yesterday morning when Conner told me for the first time, "I love Mommy."
