Our First Baby

Our First Baby I look in the mirror, who have I become? The woman I was, shall soon be a Mum. My figure so round, so awkward, deprived, But the little one inside keeps my confidence alive. I worry so much about the mother I will be, Would I be perfect for this little he or she? Have I everything I need, from nappies to bibs? Oh gosh, did I make a mistake with the choice of the crib! I find myself, crying and laughing in one, I knew this was expected for an expecting Mum, But regardless of what lies ahead now for me, I know I will love you no matter what, you’ll see. I look at my wife, I see her so calm, Will I be that father, who can do no harm? Do I have the strength to help It strive? Will he or she take over our lives? Oh, so much I fear, the worry just grows, Do you think my wife see this, do you think she knows? The concerns of finance, are we financial sound? I was told to expect this, a growing mound. But when she turns to me and her eyes are a smile, I know I can do this, I have got this somehow. The start of our family, my wife, baby and me, Nothing unexpectant can take this from me. date of poem 24 July 2018 Our first baby was born on the 9th September 2018
