The thunder roared in a dark stormy night
The silver-grey hues couldn’t help but be bright
The sky was like an opera stage
The clouds in prison twisted out of rage
The rain danced like a ballet dancer
While the lightning was the main actor
The room, so empty, nothing but a bed
The sheets once carmine were now a light hue of red
The contractions felt like a thousand knife
Despoiling and dismantling and depriving the mother’s life
In this organized chaos, water dripped down signaling your arrival
And the swans and hummingbirds sang like angels from the bible
Two bodies into one, two souls, two heartbeats
Never have they foreseen the day they’ll meet
Their blessed union have seen the light
To be the reason for you to be so delight
With a gentle smile, I told your mother not to worry
There is no need to rush things or be in a hurry
It’s time to pray, breath and push
To finally see your face, like a rose in a bush
With a little squeak, you came sliding into my hand
And your mother with joy shed tears like clear sand
I felt like the sunshine rose for the for time
And it intrigued me to see you in your prime
Hush, hush, don’t cry and be reassured
Your mother will bounce up and be cured
She will always show you affection
Even though you might lose direction
I wish all the best in the world
You little thing in a soft blanket curled.
