Mum pushing hard, dad to the side
Breathing deep, worlds to collide
Head crowning, doctors in await
Towels ready, forceps in place
Baby arrives with all the mess
Screaming healthy, on mummas chest
Both crying, happiness and joy
This beautiful angel, hope for this boy
He quiets down, exhausted from the journey
Mum kisses his head, he whimpers quietly
She lays down her head, pillow so soft
Sleep envelops, raises her aloft
.
Dad breathes a sigh in awe and delight
This amazing world with this brand new life
Stepping out to take some fresh air
He inhales in, feeling so aware
That little soul reliant on him
Mother too, feels good within
He’ll always be there to serve and protect
His darling family, bewildingly perfect
What would he change? Nothing at all
In that hospital room, perfection so small
.
That first night as three, their own little room
Trying to feed him, over the moon
Milk going everywhere, never done this before
Feeling useless, this new never ending chore
Time for the burp, difficult to do
Not too hard, this will not do
A tiny tap, a little rub
And burp, the milk comes up
They look at each other, covered in sick
Then they burst out laughing, not caring one bit
As they cuddle each other, three as one
Family together, family has begun.
