My Son
You quicken with hands and feet a flutter,
Already I hold you close to my heart, dear,
Your birth will make me a second time mother,
I wonder when you will be with us here,
My body has been altered by weight gained.
As it begins I am overwhelmed with fear,
Excruciating, there is much that’s pained,
Pushing, breathing, repeating, it is hard,
Into the world you come as I am left drained.
Loved ones gather as it all seems to be done,
Family enfolds you, welcome my son.
Your birth will make me a second time mother,
I wonder when you will be with us here,
My body has been altered by weight gained.
As it begins I am overwhelmed with fear,
Excruciating, there is much that’s pained,
Pushing, breathing, repeating, it is hard,
Into the world you come as I am left drained.
Loved ones gather as it all seems to be done,
Family enfolds you, welcome my son.
