Rehabilitation

She gasps now, in pain 
As the gentle therapist
Extends her ballooning limb
  ~ In childbirth's pangs
     Ends always justified means

Very visceral poem, Gershon! And expressed w/cerebral elegance. Much like how life enters. Your poetry always illuminates, my dear friend. Keep on shining your bright pen light. Love and smiles forever.

When pregnant women ask me about the pain I point out that I hate pain, and yet I have 3 children and 10 grandchildren, and none of us remember the pain. The result is so delightful!
