Purple sky
Pink and white clouds like a hare's tail
Silver stars peeking through the veil
Whenever we shall fly
Against the squalling gale
We cannot fail
For it is on us they do rely
And for that we will prevail
In a quest for a holy grail
To our summer home we say goodbye
Spirits high and uncurtailed
On our wings we do set sail
Towards the winter cove that is surely nigh
Down we retreat from storms of epic scale
Forewarned we were of peace that will derail
This call to move we cannot deny
At last we have reached the end of the trail
In our success, we exhale
A sigh
Of relief.

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.
