Every May I Remember

(For Danny)

Every May I remember the fragrant season of promise

when first I walked in a blossoming time

carrying a ripened load of life, amidst Spring’s bright horoscope.

I wondered how my future, our future, would morph and change

even as my body cradled the life within

that quickened and leapt with such infinite possibilities.

The young woman in me embraced the new

even as all of nature seemed to anticipate and reflect

the imminent emergence, never before seen.

Oh firstborn son of my youth, my heart reflects and muses on it still

for when I birthed you, I too was birthed once again.

Every May I remember.
