In My Arms
I woke up this morning feeling noxious,
Like the alarm goes off,
I quickly dashed off to the doctor
For a check up.
A test of few minutes took hours,
Within seconds, it felt like forever.
Alas! The glowing smile on her face,
Announced it all! You're three weeks
Gone.
Dad on hearing this, gently wrapped us
In his arms and went for a kiss.
About this poem
The bundle of joy and wonderful feeling one gets on knowing a life is growing within and the anxiety and surprise it brings.
