Interpretation of Earnest Hemmingway Poem by Poet Angela Brown

In this journey
I am blessed
to see you smile
to feel loved
to be held
Are the tears of hope
To bring joy
to find happiness
to celebrate life
Are the tears that flow
The glow in your eyes
the warmth of your smile
the grace of your beauty
to give life
to have a child
is the gift you bring
And to give birth to a child
in my life
is a true blessing
