Ungongtion...

Swahili for...a birth time rhyme:
 
Tazara's Dawn
Sept 24th 2012


Early Monday morn
September spring sprung
Her Thinging Along song
Into contraction action
Sung sweetest Dawn.


Before oncoming pain
My sweet wife flung
I prayed for long
Against fears traction
Rumbling black train.


River Ridge showtime
Parturition has swung
Forced us headlong
Into pool of exaction
An effort sublime.


Comfort zone squeezed
By Eve's curse stung
Eden bore down strong
Ousted baby for reaction
A girl! I'm pleased :)


After birth the details
But Mama low-strung
Sounds warning gong
St John ambulatory action
Tearing off. See what entails?!


Theatre the quick reward
Stopping up whats bung.
Surging surgical throng,
Tazara my distraction
Praycing in the Lord.


Grand job doctors do
Bloods in balance hung
Howard gals are strong!
Glimpsed hard fraction
Of what life costs you.


Praise God above
Tazara Dickson young,
To us we all belong,
Beautiful transaction
Of Love.
