As I stare at my nude body in the mirror
I smile
This body of mine created a child like no other in the world
My ample breast will nourish him turning him into a strong healthy young man
My strech marks are a reminder of the nine months he lived inside of me
Tossing & turning
Moving & kicking
Whenever he felt the urge to do so
As I look at my bare body in the mirror
I smile
29 days remaining & I'll know for sure it was all worth it
Every
Backache
Sleepless nights
Braxton Hicks contraction
Every
pound gained
Tear shed
Strech marks that won't go away
I am now a mother
With a new respect for my body
therefore
I smile
Brightly & beautifully as never before
As I stare at my naked body in the mirror
