Real Women Have Babies

 by Gloria Poole, RN, artist of Missouri and Georgia

Real women have babies;

yes they do.

They use their ovaries

and eggs

and mix them with sperm

the usual way

in their womb

and plant them there

in the soft cushy nest

of their inner part

and they water them

and they feed them every day

and watch with tender care

their every move,

and every bite

and every social contact

to avoid germs

and pollutants

and evil.

They watch their bellies grow

Big.

And bigger.

And biggest.

Til their sides pop

and stretch marks appear

and they feel as if

they will scream

from the weight

on their ribs and spine

and the pressure on their bladder.

But then,

suddenly,

nature takes its course,

and the laboring begins,

laboring to push baby

into the world,

alive and well,

and screaming lustily,

with outrage at,

being shoved through

a tiny channel,

into the very cold,

not 98 point 6 ,

from human body warmth,

And into the hands of sometimes

 barely grasping ,

a wriggling, screaming baby.

And then.

O, my!

Then, motherhood instinct kicks

into overdrive,

And she sees her baby.

Her precious tiny reproduction

of herself and her man.

And her heart,

 swells with joy,

and love,

til she feels

it will burst.

And she's overcome,

with emotion,

and love,

for her husband,

and for her baby

and relief.

Relief with a capital R.

Relief:  her baby is born!

Relief:  her baby is alive!

Relief:  her baby is breathing!

Relief:  her baby is proof,

that she is a,

WOMAN.

Also, please see the Mother's Day tribute I made on my Gloria's blog, mini exhibit of art blog at https://mini-exhibition.blogspot.com, yesterday.  I also am the mother of two grown daughters and the grandmother of seven minor children. I adore my grandchildren. I consider them GOD's rewards to me for having survived trauma twice, and endured hardship to stay true to Christian beliefs and the commandments of GOD; and for believing that the word of GOD as spoken to Adam and Eve, the first humans on earth, "to be fruitful and multiply" [Genesis 1:27-28, KJV] were still GOD's first and foremost instruction to every human.
