Knowledge Is Power

To do research on how 
To birth a child
Isn't far fetched or wild. 
It is what we do in the here and now
To know what to expect.
It helps us to have a healthy respect
So we don't disrespect
The natural thing our bodies know 
How
To do.
If more women had a clue
Then it wouldn't be such a bad ordeal.
Women would be filled with mirth
At how
Easy it is giving birth
When their babies are due.
They'll be saying phew!
I knew
What to do.
I am so thankful I read those books over
From cover to cover
It helped me to deal
With something totally new.
