The Love Nest

You and him,

him and you.

Your love is found,

love is devine.

You met each other

and locked eyes as one.

And then came the day where

you said “I do.”

The vows were sacred, bound by fate

and then came the day

where you built your nest.

When a man loves a woman

usually it is forever.

But many times it isn’t.

But if your love is strong and unbreakable,

nothing can hurt it.

Jealousy has left the nest.

There is not a doubt that

enters. 

Your kisses of passion

linger and grow.

Sometimes you divide

on sour days

when neither one of you

is happy,

but your nest remains

intact and your love is still profound.

You grow, and then suddenly

inside your belly

a new life grows.

Now you know what your nest is for.

You patiently wait

to welcome a new member to the family.

Your nest is warm with your love.

Him and you,

you and him,

know that the child is born

out of your love for each other.

It’s what you have waited for

to become not just a wife,

but a mother.

And finally your sweet baby

arrives and fills the nest.

Beauty enters your life.

A new life waits to be nurtured.
