Semester glow

Kids throwing stones

As the train rolls by

Pregnant lady from the platform

Catches my eye

What is the thing, this gift

That I can tell when they're with child

Before they start to show or tell

And no MATB1 is filed

Been like this for so long

Happens every where I go

They carry a certain aura

A warm, distinctive glow

I've placed bets before with colleagues

The looked at me rather strange

As I know you will do too

When you're reading from this page

A friend told me it's common

But not too see the aura bright

And I can feel them when they're close

Or even out of sight

Happens in the supermarket

When they walk behind my back

I know you'll think I'm crazy

But please cut me some slack

I never chose this.....ability

It grows stronger as I grow old

And to talk about this to you now

Might see me left out in the cold

But here it is, a part of me

You'll see from time to time

Looking inwards instead of outwards

But always told in rhyme
