Creation

A creation so small,
A new lease of life.
Wandering though this life,
After loved one, after another.

Taking the final plunge,
It’s nearly over.
Bundle of joy now here,
Tears of happiness start flowing.

A first scream from the child,
Warming, touching the heart of mother.
Father cut the cord,
Taken away to get cleaned up.

Days have passed,
She’s started to develop quickly.
Forming a fist, fighting high,
She will be a great kid.

Tummy expanding,
Legs growing and feet kicking.
Face screwed up,
Yet another dirty nappy.

Birth of her first child,
A memory to remember.
It was ages ago now,
That I saw the baby cry.
