MUST I PUSH?
When I was pregnant,
I never knew I will have to PUSH hard
The conception was optimistically growing
The growth was gradually evidential
Not quite long,
I could no longer hide the fetus conceived inside
The fetus continually grew in size
The fetus wants to change status
The fetus wants to be a baby
The baby wants to become a child
The child wants to be an adult
Conception is not enough for this life's growth
I was not convenient anymore
The flat tummy took a new but bigger shape
I anticipated seeing the one inside
The fetus also wants to run on a live stage
I ran to the comfort room
But no comfort.
I was told the room for the new transit in life is
LABOR ROOM
That sounds scary, Labor room???
Labor room not playing room
Labor room, not fun-filled room
As I step to the Labor room
The experts to help bring forth the new life came
My nerves were calm
I expected them to bring out the growing wonder in me
Contrariwise, they firmly and repeatedly said to me
YOU HAVE TO PUSH, you have got to PUSH hard!!!!!!!!
I asked, must I PUSH HARD???
I thought conception was sufficient
And bringing forth is easy
Again, I heard you have to PUSH and PUSH hard.....
PUSH TO BRING FORTH LIFE
PUSH TO OPEN THE DOORS
PUSH TO PREVENT DEATH
PUSH TO PRESERVE LIFE
I PUSHED, yes I conquered my fears
I PUSHED HARD AND HARDER.........
My arms pushed along,
My feet participated in the push,
My head was slightly raised
My back was flat on the bed
My eyeballs were widely open
I sweat profusely
I screamed at the top of my voice
My nerves jumped out of relaxation
The pain was excruciating,
The pains aggravated when the joy was near
I tried it again,
The expert said few inches to go
Do it again
Just a little, Push hard dear
Now the final push!!!
Hmmmmn, I PUSHED
And it landed
I heard it cry
My bundle of joy landed
The cry was incessant
It cried I was relieved
The pain subsided
I turned to the right
I saw it wrapped in a new cradle
My joy increased
The pain subsided
Soon, I forgot my pains
'Cos I've got the gain
Oh thank God I PUSHED,
Yes, I PUSHED HARD.
Don't give up, PUSH
Conception is not enough
A little PUSH will not bring forth
You have got to PUSH HARD
With your back on the ground
P Pray, Pursue, Persevere, Persist
U Until
