Your weight is nothing right now Or so I’m told. Not much more than a few peas in my hand. But to me you are the heaviest thing I have ever carried. My body stretches, strains, expands to accommodate you While my mind tries, day in and day out, Minute by minute To understand what you are, what you mean, how you will fit Into this small life of mine. Atlas carried the Earth atop his shoulders But I carry a world in my belly. You are a new life And mine will never be the same. |
