BLUE
The colour of jubilant sky,
Sapphire-crystal sea
and a sign on a pregnancy kit result
The womb feels strangely irrelevant
Its chatter echoes, falls silent, unheard
An eternity stretches
The womb slumbers
It dreams of baby-blue woollen socks
Chubby knees marked by playground grazes
lollipop-stained lips
Matted pig-tails and cherub faces
Twinkling brightly in the sun
Reminiscent of sapphire-crystal sea
and a blue jubilant sky

Inspiring...I have few questiong what had inspired you to write this poem????
Suze,
The maternal clock is going to run out of battery soon dont you know? You'll find out when you get to my age lah. But hopefully not cos i do think a mini-suzi would be too cute for words!!!
Liz my dear...thank you...
Nasra,
Used to be that I dont have time for kids in my life..you know the usual excuse..too much work, too tired etc etc. I also believed I need to perfect myself first, you know i want to be a good role model for my kids. Lately the maternal instincts have grown too strong to ignore. I must confess age is also a worrying factor since i'm in my 30s, each passing year with no kid makes me more stressed!!! But anyway, I remind myself that God knows best and I'll be thankful for whatever blessings he has already given me. How about you? Any kids of your own? :)
I could not help but be riveted by this post. I know the feeling too well.
I had a difficult time getting pregnant, too. My husband and I waited more than three years before we were finally blessed with our own precious bundle of joy.
Don't fret. It's true when people say it will happen when you are not thinking too much about it. ;p
I'm rooting for you!
In the meantime, be happy and continue being grateful for the good things you already have in your life. =)
I have come here to be touched again with this poem...Im still single even tough Im 30..it worries my mum more than I..When I was 25 I really wnated to get married but know it is so hard to think being with someone Im so use to my life ..though at time I wonder how would feel like to have children
