Laughing Through Tears

 

 

The nine month long wait, was going to be over

The ambiguity around ‘YOU’ was going to be clear

 

Wailing in pain, tears flowed, fear gripped my mind

All while, in ‘Your’ anticipation, my thoughts remained entwined

 

Hours of labour, left me exhausted

But I waited eagerly, feeling excited

 

Then came the golden moment when I heard your cries

In that immense pain also I felt overjoyed

 

Laughing through the tears made me scream

YOU, had come into this world, fulfilling my dream

 

A mother was born, what an absolute divine feeling

Proud to be a woman, motherhood is a blessing
