embryo.

A boy was born,

brought home that day.

She wrapped him tightly,

a little bundle, tucked away.

A child would grow,

learning through his mistakes.

She handled him softly,

teaching him, leading the way.

A man he became,

Tall and handsome, they say.

She watched him change,

as her hair grew thin and grey.

A child was born,

they didn't see what he became.

Because she was afraid,

to bring him home that day.
