A new born baby
What joys
They bring
Was it worth
All that pain
Carrying the weight
Must have been
A strain
The weeks
And months
Watching your stomach grow
Must have been going
Through some
Highs and lows
But some how
You felt
Excited
Knowing what
A wonderful thing
That you have created
The baby kicking
And thumping
To let you know
Its there
As the time draws near
Labour pains appear
They seem
To last forever
Your waters break
Gas and air
Your new born baby
Is almost here
A cry of delight
From your partner near
You look down
At the bundle
That lies
Near your bed
A special bond
Of love is created
The pains of birth
Was…….worth it.
