"A New Life"
Sitting here lonely in a waiting room
Silence is all around, and all we can do is wait.
Listening for the cry that will soon come from her womb
The birth of a child, newborns child is always comes late.
She will be here soon and the countdown begins
Strange sounds fill the air we know she is here.
She is soon to come home another countdown begins
We bring her home today her today and her name is Claire.
She came home today and has thick brown curly hair
Everyone's is waiting for her to get here to celebrate.
There is nothing better than a smile from Claire
Around her nana there is no one who will dare to debate.

Poetry: On birth
(This is not a rhyming poem, but one of prose.)
SUMMER BIRTH
Restless, rolling, sweating, unsleeping,
I mentally try to push
by J. D. Stone
The waters will still ebb and flow,
the moon still pull the tide,
but nothing could be more naturally so,
then the tears from
From the cradle of innocent birth,
we embrace the touch of immaculate worth,
amidst sweeping streams of miracles,
Begins the passage of time,
Marking down the date,
We will mark the passage of time,
I have marked this fourty-seven times,
Living
