Once a Pregnant Man

Woman impregnated a man Is normal to see pregnant women If men go about with big tummies They must be filled with foods/drinks Else it's a malady/sickness A mystery ever seen in life Woman impregnated a man I've covered my pregnancy all the while But my EDD is at hand My months are over I'm in 'labour' and it pains much Which hospital do I visit? Where is the 'labour' room? For my save delivery Where are the doctors? Oh! The midwives and the nurses If I'm delayed Mother, I stand the risk of still birth and complication I thought here could be my delivery room But it's just too small Even the whole world is too small To witness the delivery of your babies I gaze to the heavens My life time so minute to push forth In 'labor' and deliver Christ bore all my pains on the cross And you identified with it at my birth Christ sacrificed His life a ransom for me Yet you gave your womb for me Nine months You made your womb my first house There you kept me and took no rent In there you made a bed for me Where I laid and slept quietly There I dictated all you eat And all you ate and drank You shared with me While I grew in secret The maternity-a place of four chambers/rooms Mother, just a room and I'll deliver to you Because the babies are yours You impregnated me with touches of care and good morals And it's formed babies of love, faith and hope It's your HEART-there I know is save Sweet mother my sweet Heart The Heart of my Heart Who hatched the egg of my life The greatest gift I can ever give to you Is to give my heart to CHRIST (EDD- Expected Date of Delivery) Didicated to Aderounmu V.A.

It is so beautiful to acknowledge the love of a mother and pass it on in other ways
