Having You

As morning came on that day
And early risers began to stir,
I could feel you; you were on your way,
And with pain, my eyes began to blur.

We flew to the doctor in a hurry,
Taking the things we needed.
The doctor did a check and said, “Don’t worry.”
Many women thought they’d been defeated;
That day was the day I met true pain,
And my heart was put to the test.
But I thought of the love I was going to gain
When you give a woman’s best.

I did cry and surely did scream.
I pushed with all my might,
And, just like the sweetest dream,
I was blessed with my child that night.
