Everything, She Will Always Be

I watch her holding to her breast
as she strokes his soft fine hair
a cooing child nursing

I witness expressions of contentment
in her eyes, in her voice, in her movements
as she rocks her child to sleep

I hear her strong heartbeat
and it's felt from across the room
I realize then that he can feel it too

I envy her for everything she is right now
to that perfect baby boy
and to that perfect baby boy

everything, she will always be.
