On the careless space of my heart, you were born. I was not expecting nor advised, but, still you came.
I did not choose the day, nor I choose the way, but you insisted and came.
When you arrived was such a storm, I could not believe the pain and the thorn, but, you came. You came to me and everything changed. You brought me the most tender feeling, the daring, the fearing and the glory, the deepest side of my story, is what you brought to me.
After you came, shadows turned to light. Pain, turned into fight, and everyday was a new beginning.
I was sorry, and happy all together, I was scary but you gave me the meaning, to face the world as a lioness, to care for you, being tireless, as all the days that I overcame. You brought the beauty of a true self, you took from me the emptiness of a vile space, bringing to my life the entire grace, of a newborn child, this I had to face.

Love this malu
Just so very beautiful
And as a father i see
It's story what a mother
Goes through...
My wife was 17 with
Our first child, just a kid
To go through that...
Thanks for your comment. Your wife was really young. I was 27 when I had my first son and I was so scared. But very fullfiled too. It gave me all the meaning I did not have before.
and I bet you faced it with all the grace you could possibly muster up. children are such a catch arn't they? that's why they get through everything . it's a good moment in life and it's about joy so embrace all you give to your children and embrace what they give you. this poem is special, I can tell that easily and so for that reason you score well over 10/10. a lovely sentimental poem and I loved it.
Thanks Kevin. It is worth every moment. Every night that I lost sleep because of my baby crying was really beautiful because just by having the opportunity of having him in my arms was a wonderful feeling.
I know that feeling well x
Yes, that cute pulsating little ball of meat and fat that is so innocent and depends all on you. And it is your responsibility.
perfect isn't it?
I think we will never live it again. Just sweet memories.
well, I have always wanted to have a Chinese baby girl but I could never hold on to one for long enough for marriage and children. my daughter is 24 now and English born and breed like me. I'm separated from her mother for 25 years but we still see each other and have a parents sort of catch up. I have always done my best for my child and always will. how about you, would you like more children if you are able?
No. My two sons are 31 and 24. The younger one came back to live with me. The older one is marriage and I have a 3 years old granddaughter. I see them once a week. We are happy like this. I don't think I have the strength to be a mother of a little baby full time at this point but if would be necessary for me to do so I would ask God strength and would do. Height now I'm happy with staying with my granddaughter once on a while. I'm getting old guy. I'm still working though.
Right now.🔝
I love the line 'to face the world as a lioness' so true mum. You passion and love of motherhood and your lovely child shine out with your words.
Thanks B/A. I put passion into everything I do, so, think about. Having a baby for me was far the most important experience I ever had. It totally changed my life. And my kids still being the most important people in my life. I still keeping my phone on and close to me all night long. Do you have kids?
Yes i do, one of each. Very private about my kids, both in 30's now. Long story.
I see. Thank you.
You beautifully caught the joy and happiness, but also the fear and pain, we experience when becoming parents. None of us were trained as mothers or fathers. From one day to the next we simply are, and then the fun starts, to say nothing of the sleepless nights. But it is all WORTH IT!!!
Thank you for a great poem.
Thank you Fred. Yes, I could do it again. I don't think I have the strength now but by then, oh yes. And I had all the possible fun. Made many friends just because my kids were friends with they kids.
