Life’s Stage

I make my first quiver

As I enter life’s stage

Polar-cold as I shiver

Screaming with rage

From whence I come

That familiar cocoon

I am forced to leave

For the delivery room

My heart breaking

As I’m dragged into the cold

The midwife waiting

As her hands take a hold

Leave me alone

I continue to scream

I was comfy in there

I was having a dream

So alien is this

It seems so bright

I stare into the abyss

At the blinding light

Then

A reassuring sound

Resonates in my ear

It’s my mummy’s voice

I can hear her so clear

And once in her arms

With a soothing greet

I again feel calm

As I hear her heartbeat

And off I fall

Into a deep sleep

Not a sound I make

Not even a peep
