SPEAK

Mouth open wide, eyes shining brilliantly
Arms raised high, body quivering with excitement.
The corners of her mouth
Turn up in a childlike smile
She looks at me with such anticipation
And so much determination
I can sense its lingering presence
We're on the edge of the breakthrough
Just a little while longer
And soon we'll be through
She would have reached her destination
And in the near future exhaustion
But before we hit climax
She must take flight
One sound she makes, I know it's here
Two sounds it's coming, just a little more fight
One more attempt and she finally got it
"MAMA"
There, it's over she's said it.
