my boy #2 (draft)

A face appears near mine, It's filled with hope.
My eyes are heavy, my throat is sore, I've only just stopped crying.

This face belongs to some woman,
Her eyes suddenly gaze into mine.

Just as l am trying to make sense of it all, a noise echoes across my mind:

"Hi, darling boy."

Her voice is familiar, I think we have sung together in my dreams.
She gestures with her finger toward me, my tiny hand clasps on.

In a brief moment my heart starts to warm, and then, everything lights up.

This is my Mama.
This is love.
