Birthing a life, 

Ahh… that’s a gift from God. 

Like the trees, 

We women, bear the joy. 

Nurturing a tiny human, 

Within us, 

The feeling.. So surreal

and divine too. 

The pain that we bear, 

Makes us strong. 

But oft I wonder, 

Is this inborn? 

Like a tree caressing

its saplings so dear, 

Our womb becomes the cosy nest, 

For the baby within.
