First Day of Maternity Leave

First day of maternity leave 
spring is awakening 
sun lights the golden trees
birds in high branches sing

Spring is awakening 
horses graze furrowed fields
birds in high branches sing
as the new year unfolds

Horses graze furrowed fields
obelisks measure time
as a new life unfolds
beneath this heart of mine

Obelisks measure time
first day of maternity leave
beneath this heart of mine
sun lights the golden trees
