Freewrite about Vessel

The Love That Comes with Change

crimson badges of honor
that started out as one & multiplied
are now silver
willowy waist strained and puffed
only to deflate
raw pain turned to utter adulation
after seeing your eyes
once orbs of muddy milk, now caramel
a heart formerly half full
is now filled to the brim
a year ago I was scared to imagine
a life with a new addition
now it frightens me to think
how I could ever live without
so afraid of change
until I recognized
the love that came with it
