Tiger Stripes


I sit here and watch you grow... My little angel very strong you go. Kicking the insides of mommy... Making me feel that vivid butterfly... Hmmm maybe a bit more like a tsunami. So excited for your arrival right before the summertime. Much love is to come... But also the tiger stripes arrive. Sucking your little thumb. They are living proof I carried you for 9 months alive! Never will they go away... Proud to have carried you... Marking your 40 week stay. A better life for you,ill pursue. Tiger stripes. A few or more depending on the body types. Signifying respect and admiration. The hardest ,yet amazing, part of a women's life: Gestation. At only 18, tiger stripes i love you.
