Radient One

Some women develop
An absolute radiance
During the later stages
Of pregnancy.
They seem so totally at peace
With the world,
Content with being a mother,
Fulfilled in every sense.
There is a glow about them
That anyone can see,
And who would not be touched
By such luminescent beauty.
There was such a girl
In the child birthing class
That Cecilia and I took
Who captivate us both in awe
With her gentle spirit
And the serenity of her smile.
Her name was Becky,
And that is where
We got the name
For our first child.
