With: I carry my lavender basket
Stitch French knots, knit tiny socks
Write my poems and paint lilac twilights
But more enchanting
Caressing with
The face of my beloved
And holding on my babe’s hand
I am fascinated by my ears
With: I hear birds singing
Enjoy melodic tunes, and fairytale stories
But more captivating
Hearing my baby calling “mama”
And the tender heartbeat
Of the one I love
With: I smell my favourite foods
Pineapple cake and ginger biscuit
Roses, jasmine, lemon zest
Ocean waves and waterfalls
But more intriguing
The sweet fragrance of my twin-half
And the delicate scent
Of my newborn
With: I perceive the world in full colour
Look at beautiful butterflies
Flowers… trees… sky and stars
But more mystifying
The tears running down
Yearning for my soul mate
Or gazing at my child sleeping
With: I taste delicious flavours
Tangy oranges… juicy mangos
Sweet strawberries
But more alluring
Kissing my baby’s feet
And whispering words like:
“Sweetheart, I love you”
And “Thank you God for all these things”
