Pregnancy: Simply... MOTHER

This beautiful composition is imaginatively titled, "Simply... MOTHER", and an equally thought-provoking poem is added below the photo by the gifted photographer. I reproduce below for your reading pleasure:

Simply... MOTHER

"God took the fragrance of a flower...
The majesty of a tree...
The gentleness of morning dew...
The calm of a quiet sea...
The beauty of the twilight hour...
The soul of a starry night...
The laughter of a rippling brook...
The grace of a bird in flight...
Then God fashioned from these things
A creation like no other,
And when his masterpiece was through
He called it simply - Mother."

Herbert Farnham
