Notes About The Poem
My first son I named after myself, as I was named after my father too. When he was born...I cried tears of joy. :)
His Name Is My Name-Sq
As I pace the corridor, I cry tears of joy
Patiently, I await...is it a girl, is it a boy
My wife went into labor, at a quarter to four
I cry tears of joy, as I pace the corridor
Her hand in mine, as I sit by her side
It's my child too...must go along for the ride
Contractions speed, it's almost that time
As I sit by her side, her hand in mine
Push said the nurse, tears in our eyes
Harder and harder, she pushes...she cries
She shouts "Is this what they mean-for better for worse"
Tears in our eyes, push said the nurse
Darling, we have a newborn son...we've been blessed
So warm, so soft...his breath as he rests
My love, my wife, look what's been done
We've been blessed...Darling, we have a newborn son
