Day One - Contest

Day one .. I have just made a journey Through dark tight tunnels striving to reach the end The end called LIFE I enter the world crying Was frightened along life’s way Still attached to my living food bag 'Til click and cut I am free. My mouth and nose are cleaned of all the debris stored therein Wrapped tightly in a white warm sheet I meet this strange red faced woman my Mam She is crying also, tears of happiness, of joy waited many long years, for me her son Can feel the love, she has inside as she holds me tightly to her breast and sighs Tears subside, I am calm Time to sleep away my cares I am at peace now, from Day 1 this is home, Mam and Tad are here
