In Tears of Labour
(Dedicated to my Wife on her Birthday)

There in the ward I stood by her side,
Watching in agony as the labour prevailed;
With the tears of a would be mother,
And all I could do was cry within my heart.
The echoed pains loaded in her voice,
Was all it took to redefine my consciousness;
And humble my thoughts about motherhood,
As I watched the travail that births a new life.
Tears as she walked around without a care,
My child please come and saves me this pain;
She cried pleading the Lord to give her strength,
As I bowed in meekness asking for the same wish.
It was pain having to see this but could do nothing,
Rather than pray and wishing for the best to come;
Why the pain keep coming with unassuming force,
That weakens my heart with so much unseen tears.
Tears, I saw the joy in-between that bitter tears,
The first cry that awoken our silent thoughts;
There he smile with the cry of an innocent child,
As we welcome our priceless jewel into the world.
Life how is it that you have to come this way?
Mystery that only the Creator of all can unfold;
Why a single seed planted in faith with hope,
Would become the joy that unites the family.
Blessed are you, woman of my dream,
A pride of hope you are mother of our children;
You have given to us that which money can’t buy,
Now we smile even when we feel this tear of labour.
