• As I open my eyes for the first time
    As the light touches my eyes making them burn
    As I let out a wail and try to shake my tiny fists
    As the warm soft cotton touches my naked body
    As I am passed to another person
    As she looks at me with big warm eyes
    As my cries are silenced when I see her face
    As her warm silk smooth voice reaches my ears
    My body is filled with love for
    This person, I shall call
    Mother
