Swahili for...a birth time rhyme:
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.
