First Born

Written for https://skepticskaddish.com/2026/01/21/w3-prompt-195-weave-written-weekly/

Ten tiny toes curl at the edges

no smile yet, but familiar blue eyes

first born, her jet black hair thrives

Ten tiny fingers grip mine

I focus on his cheeks, so familiar

second born, his jet black hair shines

Looking to the heavens

I tell dad of their birth

his third born, love always survives.

I am a fifty something mother of two grown up children, and one beautiful grandchild. I have been married for nearly thirty-four years. My first book was published ten years ago. I wrote my book Sticks and Stones because of my experience of being bullied at school.
