'tis the season... for poems(!)

winter solstice on the horizon
time to prepare

ritual, ceremony, gathering
feeling the crisp chill, excitement in the air

time for action, feasting, celebration
but also for quiet reflection, rest and self-care

a year ago this time, i had my baby
the twenty-second, to be exact

leander zia, joon,
you came to join the pack :)

mama and baby born at winter's dawn 
once one, now two

i waited and wished my whole life
to love and welcome you

now that the year comes full circle
i sit, deep in gratitude and joy

the greatest gift is to be your mother
my angel-baby boy
