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.

I like this a lot, I think it's my favourite eclipse poem 😁
Oooo, I'd love for this to happen hehehehe. Loved your Acrostic!
Quite the invitation! Very cleverly done! Such restlessness captured in the early lines and then a halting close.
It was so gently pleading until the Evermore.
Fantastic poem!
