wishes into flesh
love into bone
dreams into life
whispers into song
the purest thoughts we have
our unadulterated joy
our raw hope
our entire hearts
how can a mother not believe in magic?
when she has held it in her womb, pressed it to her breast, loved it into existence?
our babies are here to remind us
what we already know
this universe is miraculous
and magical
an expanding and all encompassing love
is inside
and outside
each
and every
one
of 
us
it's what our babies are comprised of
it's what we are comprised of
but you knew that already, 
mama.
