Analysis of A day in life



The battle begins.
The blinding cries that break the silence,
and the hardships to follow.
Your guard is up, warding off evils all
around you, yet you survive.
Love and joy feel far from reach, and yet
you strive on.
At last your view falls on that labor, that
love, that life you have brought into the
world.
Looking into your baby's eyes drinking in
the unconditional love that is offered,
knowing that you will change the world for them.
Without fear or hesitation you charge into
the day knowing nothing is imposable
for you
