tiny footprints on a mother's heart

when a baby arrives,
be it for a day, or longer
or perhaps only a sweet flickering moment
the fragile spark of a tender soul
the secret swell of a new pregnancy
the goldfish flutter known only to you
you are un mistakenly changed...
the tiny footprints left behind on your heart
bespeak your name as mother.
