KISS
I was on the labour table
you were by my side
holding my hand with a smile
wide, upon your face.

You bent and kissed my hand
you loved me so very much.
Then I gave a final thrust and
baby was placed in your arms.

You held him ever so gently
you kissed his furrowed head.
I saw much love in your eyes.
You mouthed "Thank you",
and kissed me tenderly.

To see you both together was a
fulfilment I will never forget,
and all the kisses in the future
could never outshine the one,
you gave me at his birth.
