Birth

I came into this world
before my due date
4:02am was the time
Thursday chose me
I was tiny and fragile
They threw me into the
Metal sink and allowed
My slippery body to caress it
My Mother was too weak to hold me
My cry echoed in the room
Other babies had arrived earlier than me
They finally cleaned me up and wrapped me
With a shawl
 My mother couldn't contain her smile, when
She finally held me in her arms
