Photo Inspired Free Verse


Lois would always wonder what it felt like for a mother to hear her baby laugh for the first time.  And now she knew. It was something special. It was the realization that there was a living, breathing human being in front of her, and she made it. Any feeling her little bundle of joy felt, she felt as well. When he was happy and smiling, she was happy and smiling. When he was sad, she was sad. He never left her side. Through thick and thin they were together. One day, he would grow up and resent being called her little bundle of joy. He would get acne and stress over the acne. He would get a girlfriend and stress over the girlfriend. (Actually, he would get many girlfriends.) Through all the stress and teenage angst, she would be there to help him through it. Most of the time, he would seem ungrateful, but actually, he is grateful for everything she did.

Lois would always wonder what it felt like

for a mother to hear her baby laugh for the first time 

And now she knew. It was something special.

It was the realization that there was

a living, breathing human being in front of her, and she made it

Any feeling her little bundle of joy felt, she felt as well

 When he was happy and smiling, she was happy and smiling.

When he was sad, she was sad. He never left her side.

Through thick and thin they were together.

One day, he would grow up and resent

being called her little bundle of joy.

He would get acne and stress over the acne.

He would get a girlfriend and stress over the girlfriend.

(Actually, he would get many girlfriends.)

Through all the stress and teenage angst, she would be there to help him through it.

Most of the time, he would seem ungrateful, but actually, he is grateful for everything she did
