"labor"

i feared the process
the unknown and its bite

the worst a woman can experience
that no man can understand

but now I know the truth

the needles
the bareness
the pushing
then silence

i can face the process
but not my life without her

  1. so true. my labor with Aquila was by far over and beyond what i had experienced with my previous 3. i kept saying "i can't do this" over and over. but after she came out, dead...well then i was really saying i cant do this. i would go back and labor for days for weeks if i could hold her alive..
