The Day of Birth
The Day of Birth
From a man to woman, maybe today i will be
Maybe today my wondering soul will become flesh
Where had this love began, i am inside of her
Swimming in a pool of darkness, listening, learning and waiting to cry in her arms
Why am i in the dark place so long?
Why am i not wrapped in sweet smelling blankets in her arms?
What’s this?, some one has touched her and i feel
We share the same emotions, even the same meal
I think i will respond and brace my palm on this wall so they know i am here
A stretch of an arm and i drew back so fast, i have felt the touch of a human
I need to get out of this place, i have been here so long
i turned and looked for a way out, but these walls are still too strong
I am tired from pulling and turning and i am still trapped in
now sleep takes my eyes and dreams flow in
What is going on today, i here loud noises
What is happening, i think some one is shining a light in
I turn my head to see the light better as it seemed to be bright then dim
I heard talking outside and i knew my host was in pain
I could feel that she was anxious and she had a great strain
I was desperate to see the light again, i planned to make a quick peek out
Suddenly it shone and i heard a man begin to shout
Push, breath, relax and it will be all over soon
It sounded exciting, i wanted to be in that same room
The light shone again and this time i quickly stuck my head there
I wanted to see outside, i needed to get out of here
I felt a force pushing me forward and suddenly my head was being tugged
I felt a huge force again and suddenly i was totally out,
I saw many faces and felt a bit scared and started to cry
This new place was so big, i wanted to go back inside.
Then the man who told her to push picked me up and took me away
A nice lady brought me and gave me to a lady laying in bed, she held me, i felt love and care
This must be my host whom i love so dare
She smiled and cried and kissed me on my cheek and said,
“Your day of birth, God has given me an Angel”,
I looked in her eyes and saw compassion and trust
My tiny eyes closed as a gently fell asleep.

Welcome my friend and a great post here; I have often wondered how cognizant a child in the womb is and I’m sure instinctively it knows and feels that connection. Nicely rendered Clive. Hope you really enjoy the site. Cheers!
Very well-written verse of the journey from unborn to newborn, Clive.
Two errors need a fix:
” This must be my host whom i love so dare” – ‘dare’ should be ‘dear’
“My tiny eyes closed as a gently fell asleep.” – should be ‘as I gently fell asleep’
I love this – it is unique and a joy to read. A hardy welcome to TCE. It is good to have you here.
A commendable first post at The Creative Exiles, Clive. I enjoyed this unborn baby’s perspective very much. I look forward to reading more of your posts here.
Thanks all for your support and input. I look forward into enjoying this journey.
