Does Gender Matter?

I was silent, when she gave you to me. Struggling with tears, I clubbed your fragile body sophistically into my arms. There was fear in my eyes, as if I was holding my own beating heart. You were just like a bubble with palpitating nerves, your bits of moan would seem like a symphony, your smell made me feel more alive or that was fragrance of your touch.

Since, I have been enjoying the collision of emotions, sunsets, autumn, dawn and… motherhood, how come you filled the void of her absence. I would love to be called your Mumma.
