56 hours
I was in labor
For you
I paced
The floors
What more
Could I do?

I went in
On a Monday
"False labor"
They said
I was so tired
I wanted to
Go to bed.

The morning came
It was Wednesday
I was in
So much pain.

You finally
Showed up
After all
This time
I am your life
And you are in mine.

This poem is about my first born daughter. She is now a little over 10 years old.

Written Oct.2/2002
