Thanks for this thoughtful review, I'm always glad to hear from you. :)
Comment from GARY MACLEAN
Beautiful sentiment. There is no greater love than that of a mother and her child (except possibly a father and his child - since I am the dad).
When my oldest daughter was born, her mother had problems and the baby came out as a limp, flaccid, blue pile of flesh. The doctors and nurses concentrated so much on mom that they just flopped this pile of flesh up on an instrument table and went back to work on mom.
I stared in awe and amazement as I watched that little pile of flesh grow and swell and turn into the pink screaming baby we walked out of the hospital with. I will never forget that instant, that moment of sheer exhilaration and wonder.
Watch every single breath, make sure she takes them all. We have them for such a little time.
Really nice poem, very tender and true.

Beautifully stated 3-5-3 poem. I agree with the sentiments of a new mom. The text is large and easy to read. The message is clearly understood. The visual is great and fits perfectly. Good luck in the contest.

More for women than men and I guess it because for the nine months attended you were quite familiar to baby's sounds. Great picture and sweet dear words.

Ahhh! I so remember those days. It was such a beautiful feeling, and you captured it perfectly with this beautiful 3-5-3 poem. I bet it's going to do great in the polls. It's been my personal favorite so far. xo

Excellent entry for the 3-5-3 feelings poem. writing prompt Contest. You grasped the feeling of motherly love. Good short poem form well. Nice presentation. Your descriptive words flow well expressing clear mental imagery.
Good luck in the contest.

Comment from Carolyn Dooley
The picture is beautiful. The mom and child bring back many memories.
I enjoyed reading your meaningful poem. As a young mother, I would wake my child up to make sure they were breathing. At the time, I had no idea what respiration was about. I was seventeen with my first. The Lord looked over us. Married at sixteen, dropped out of school in ninth grade. Thank you.

I'll bet you were a wonderful mom then and still are! It just takes love. You had a lot to deal with at that young age, I checked on my first child's breathing all the time, and now watch my daughter do it as well, now that she has become a first time mom. Thank you for this exceptional review and for your kind words. :)

I am a grandfather who recalls vividly the expression on my wife's face when she held each of our newborns. There truly is no greater joy than watching "each breath she takes." You convey that message very well in only 11 syllables. Rod
