sonogram

by Mary Ellen Smith

the baby is there
floating in liquid bubbles
sucking a thumb.

the picture is a contrast
watery, black and white.
there is a wee nose
a cute little profile.

the baby shows off a little
and turns all the way over.

it's a boy!

Author's Note: My third grandchild is a little boy due in November. I fell in love with him when I saw his little face in the sonogram pictures.

Great succinct description! Has love written all over it! (How can people consider aborting these babies?)
