Having a baby

[pomes]

Having a baby
Means that every snap of crowds shows me the babies
Held shoulder-high

Having a baby
Means that every time the evening news is about a baby
I want to cry

Having a baby
Means that every time the news mentions a baby
I fear it will die

Having a baby
Means that all the hungry, lonely, frightened babies
Are crying close by.

So I've heard. You describe it poignantly.

Thanks, that's exactly it. Especially now.
