Blush
The red pink space upon his cheeks.
 Heavens grant me this child,
 Angels called, making me see.
 How beautiful this baby boy is to me.
 I see his face, round and cute. 
 20 little teeth start to dress in a suite.
 Hair growing fast and brave.
 No doubt, his Grandma’s brown tone.
 This only made me love him more.
  
 Every day when the day turns dark.
 A little cup of wine helps me fall into black.
 That’s when his father looks in the crib,
 A man of honesty, pure love and luck.
 I don’t have to worry, just fall asleep on the couch.
 Next day, I see the blush.
 My boy smiles, widening his father’s eyes.
  
 When I go for a walk, I hear them speak.
 Nasty, harsh voices,
 Ring in my ear.
  
 “Only woman in the world,
 Who won’t see the truth,
 That the blush is a bruise.”
