Is where the beautiful ones are born <br />They are these sensational infants now <br />We'll take them and nurture them <br />For unto their baby shoulders <br />There our hopes are pinned <br />The maternity ward is <br />The institution of the century <br />They cry and talk and shout in their <br />Own baby language to me and you my friend <br />And we must hasten to bring them up <br />In wisdom and shield them from <br />The world's bad influences <br />Come to this magnificent maternity ward <br />You will be bowled over when you see them <br />They are the sensational newborns of your times <br />Behold them <br />They are the leaders of tomorrow <br />And the peacemakers of the coming decades <br />Look at them and laugh and know that <br />In old age they will take care of you as <br />You go back to your second childhood<br /><br />BrokenHeartPheko Motaung<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sorrow-poems-the-maternity-ward/
