Welcome to the World Baby Lily

As a grandfather at fifty this was first time I was in a "berthing room" and these were just some of my impressions...

Screams pierce the silent night

Beads of sweat drip like rain

Hands gripped tight in anticipation

Trying to hold off the pain

 

Images of heaven’s gate

Rapid breaths and spasms timed

Illegal words not truly meant

Actions often only mimed

 

So much white it hurts the eye

Blips and bleeps abound

Clinking instruments of cold steel

Add to the melody of sound

 

Grunts at other times undignified

Now have become a natal song

Endless minutes seem like hours

Worried faces why so long

 

Then a tiny scream of outrage

For ignoring her little fight

Baby Lily’s grand appearence

Blessed us all that night.

More grandfathers need to be in the delivery room to show their children that they are hurting along with them while they are delivering the precious grandchild. To me it would be the start of a bonding that some have to wait longer for. Your little ones are truly lucky to have a Poppy like you. The poems that you have written for them will be with them all their lives. Keep writing about them, so much joy in them that you share with us. Karen

What a truly wonderful experience for you, Felix! I have not known of a Grandfather who has attended the birth of a grandchild, and it seems to me you have captured the scence dramatically in a few graphic stanzas - especially love the "tiny scream of outrage For ignoring her little fight"... that is absolutely IT to a T!! Ver well done - and I bet you will have a very special bond with little Lily! WELCOME TO THE WORLD, LILY! (Echo!! Echo!!) You are going to be sooo proud of your Grandpa!! LOL Kate xx
