And then a mother was Born!!

P.C. – Google

 

 

She was struggling

She was agonizing

Her pain was no more pain

In words one can’t explain

It was swirling inside and out

Never-ending without a doubt

Making her numb and pale

She could barely inhale or exhale

And with every gasp she made

To protect her baby she prayed

who was yet to be born

But this was when a mother was born

who was writhing in agony

And yet cared more about her child

And suddenly the pain got mild

When she saw her for the first time

Her baby, her newborn

In a second she forgot

The anguish, the suffering

It was an unbelievable knot

As she began to slowly cling

To the essence of this moment

To her uncontrollably loving thought

And then a mother was born

When she wished to adorn

The beauty in her arms

With all her love and life

And to protect it from all harm

Forever in her life!!
