Life loves
It was unbelievable
How did I do that and survive
I’m wonderful and marvelous
And so proud and so scared
All at the same time
Where was he?
He should’ve been there
I was alone, scared to death, going to die
I swam in and out of waves of pain
And then it was over
I was eighteen, just a scared kid
I had a husband who didn’t care to be there
And who wouldn’t last the distance
I had a beautiful boy
A gift from me to the world
And the beginning of the most important and intense
Role of my life, motherhood
Four years later
But strong this time, independent
A little older a lot wiser
I’m all alone again in that sudden blinding pain
This little one was in a hurry
Kicked and punched his way to the world
A lovely little dark haired boy
Never to know his father
He had a mother who’d love him
Like no other, in spite of it all
Because of it all
Another long night and day of pain
A mother who said, why’d I do this again
And then a beautiful, tiny, perfect girl
Came quietly into the world
A strong, tight little unit
We’d become us against the world
I am only really happy when everyone I love is here
