A pain wave crashes over you
And panic fills your eyes
Now look at me and take a breath
Fill lungs with slow chest rise
You’re strong, look at you breathing
Let your baby’s head descend
Air enters, pushing tension out
You’ve almost reached the end
You thought you couldn’t do it but
You did nevertheless
Drink in the sight of her sweet face
As, snuggling, you both rest
