Childbirth Poems - Poems about Childbirth

In the dark, a figure sits beside me, Like a pure white diamond, shines in the dusky night. She says, "You are fated to be mine." I look at her with turmoil in my sight. "Oh my Bun-bun do not fear," she tilts towards me, A hand on my hair strand, "Please Bun-bun, come, meet me soon. I am losing my...

The Aerobus arrived to take her to the nursery planet, where she would tend her offspring; The matriarch checking daily, weekly, to see that she did so. She did not rest. She could not heal. But there was no...

(for Lucy) I The day you came, the fence broke and shattered debris on vehicles outside the garage. When the story was told, the drumming ceased and the exhilarating jubilation no sooner, had become gruesome. Then, I could figure the rue cascading down the veins of neighbours present to share in the dreams and hopes of your coming. And then, imagining the pleasant tidings your birth should bring, I took a closer view...

I ain’t a doctor and never will be, but one night I got into hot water, I was trying to help but it didn’t help me, the night a young wife had a daughter. And it all began with a sunset, and me underneath a palm tree, cutting some fronds off the palm, due to threats from the S.E.C. As I cut away...

hurray! hurray! hurray!, the sound of merriment engulfs the air, sooner is the day of approach, with all in unison accepting the cause, portraying the gift of perseverance, as the pace of time evokes.

Now that she's gone, I can't stand this unbearable pain I'm going through. She was diabetic and I should've known better. My life became complete on the...
