She moved away from me for a while.<br/><br/>We looked into each other’s eyes <br/><br/>And silence reined the pink-colored room.<br/><br/>Then the bud blossomed into a flower.<br/><br/>A little flicker of sunshine passed in<br/><br/>through the small blinds,<br/><br/>as she spread her mouth wide<br/><br/>to give a toothless smile.<br/><br/>My heart raced against the blood <br/><br/>streaming through the veins.<br/><br/>With a little look here and there,<br/><br/>she slowly extended her fingers <br/><br/>to my excited face and said<br/><br/>‘Ma’ for the first time.<br/><br/> And I was speechless.
