A birth to remember ….

Sharp, loud, tears, breaks,

Ripping me with every wave

breathing nitrous oxide with a gulp

So, you can breathe your first breath

My body lost half the being 

My mind shock by the ache

To gain your first gaze

If it was terrible 

Than how did I bear

The cheese cucumber tomato sandwich

Stuck in my parched oesophagus

The pale body shivering mad 

The needles not letting my arm bent 

The shots in my legs like

I was punished day and night

Horrible terrible and bleak

Yet to have you I am blessed 

Trauma it was and

accepting that 

Does not make 

Me Thankless

Or make the pleasure

 of having you 

Any less
