A Cry Still Heard

May18th 2008,my daughters` labour was started
 sat by her bedside,our hands they were not parted
   sharing her every breath,every pain
     holding back to refrain.

            The tears that could easily flow
                needed strenghth for me to show
                  i was with her all the way
                   `cos in the end,it will pay.

                        Around 5 am,things came to a head
                          Hannah,gripping my hand,also the bed
                            i panicked and rang the emergency bell
                              nurses flew in " o what the hell"

                                     In a panic i had mistakenly pressed the wrong one
                                       we can all laugh, now that it`s all gone.
                                         However, Hannah gave birth to Ashton, a healthy boy
                                           as you can guess, he is my little pride and joy.

                                               " A SHEER PLEASURE TO HEAR ASHTON CRY "
