Stand and Deliver

Shot out like a cannon ball As mother lay there in her bed Twisted and contorted Push down hard the nurse had said Audience at bottom end Were quick to save the head What a pair of lungs cried out Went from purple blue to red Cleaned up cord cut and swaddled Poor child's hungry wants be fed Mum and dad proud as can be Holding babe that they have bred 6/21/2015
