Mum missed her visitor for a week
Then first trimester came in so quick.
Although with vomiting and fever
Not your fault, so don’t you bother.
Daddy can’t wait to hold your arms
Tiny five fingers and cradle charms.
You are the gift that completes his pack
Your cool heartbeat kept pulling him back.
So intrigued at your mother’s big round pot;
The new sweet look that she did begot
Gaining weight and looking beautiful
Although in pains, till day she births you.
Mummy can’t wait to push the axles
So prepare for contracting muscles.
