The Beauty of Life Begins

I'm trying my hand at some new styles... So here goes: Enjoy!
This was written after seeing some amazing photo's of expecting Mom's. What must go through their thoughts etc...
I had a friend read it without explaining what inspired it and she thought the poem was about inner growth, acceptance and confidence...  What are your thoughts?

The Beauty of Life Begins

A Life, begins oh so small

What adventures lie ahead?

This seed inside starts to grow

Anticipations high

A little one, a sprout of sorts

Changing with each day

Young Life growing deep within

Questions fill my head

Will I be able to nurture

This life that's just begun?

Can I teach the best of me

To share the Love I have?

Should I falter at my task

Will they understand?

I stand here and I wonder

Am I ready for this task?

Shedding doubts that I have

I fill instead with Hope

The answers come as from above

Compassion, Love and Light

If I use all these and more

There's Promise in this life

I will do my part in this

With a  grateful Loving hand

The beauty of life that is inside

Is waiting to be born

So take your place in this world

And fill an opening

Now I feel such Hope and Love

As Beauty rests inside

Questions still reside in me

I'm ready for this Life

Breezes come  refresh my soul

Fill me with such Joy

For Hope it springs eternal

The Bench

Have you ever looked at empty benches and wondered what all they know, what all they've witnessed, what all they've done, provided,  lived through? Here's a story about the bench....

 

  The Bench  

Lovers holding hands;

lost in starlit eyes

Explorers planning trips;

flying  distant skies.

Talking suits immersed;

politics all around

Echoes of once was;

shadows on the ground

Worried contemplation;

questioning ill health

Youthful anticipation

spending future wealth

Bended knees propose;

Love's the driving force

Angry hearts divide;

planning for divorce

Fragile mournful souls;

reminiscing the past

Expectant parents smile;

making memories last

Bench turned into bed;

dreaming better days

Strangers having lunch;

soaking up some rays

A soldier sitting tall;

serving  country proud

Gangs that disrespect;

music turned up loud

Whimsical graffiti;

artistically fun

Diversity now unified;

friendships now begun

A mother and her child;

such poetry in Light

Students sharing knowledge;

   future's looking bright

Written with Love and Light,
