A man is so glad to know- that inside you <br />His child grows. <br />The most beautiful thing on this earth <br />Is a woman giving birth. <br /> <br />As her stomach starts to grow <br />And her soft caressing hands begin to show <br />You'll see her face take on a radiating glow. <br /> <br />She will see life in a different way <br />As her motherly instincts come into play. <br />her body which she had taken for granted before <br />Is about to open a new door. <br />This is the door to life <br />and as you do the pushing pains <br />From this moment on your life will change. <br /> <br />And when you feel that child stretching <br />Those walls of life <br />You'll know it was worth the pains and sacrifice. <br /> <br />You may see its head and then its face <br />Searching this unfamiliar place. <br />Looking for the warmth that it knew <br />When it was inside of you. <br /> <br />It will take some time for the child to adjust <br />But it'll recall your gentle touch <br />Now the first step comes into place <br />When you look at each others face. <br /> <br />An indefinable feeling that you can't put into words <br />But for nine months this child has heard. <br />The beating of its mothers heart <br />Had become as one <br />And a new life had begun. <br />Now you have become what GOD intended <br />A mother of life - of hopes and dreams <br />And all that is seen and unseen. <br /> <br />Look deeply into that child s eyes <br />And it will take you where you've <br />Never been before - as it opens <br />Up its souls door. <br /> <br />This is what - 'as a man'- I see <br />And you can't take that away from me.<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/how-beautiful-is-pregnancy/
