THE SWEET PAIN

Its a Blessed Journey

In realms where life's tapestry is spun,

A tale of sweet pain, a journey begun.

Through shadows of longing, a heartache's refrain,

Comes forth the embrace of delivery's gain.

A whisper of hope in the still of the night,

A fragile bloom pushing through earth's delight.

With each passing moment, anticipation's tide,

A symphony of yearning, where emotions collide.

The waiting, a canvas of bittersweet hues,

Eagerly patient, as time gently cruises.

Aching for what's to come, yet savoring the wait,

A paradoxical dance, a delicate state.

In the embrace of labor, as contractions arise,

The symphony swells, a crescendo of cries.

A symphony of pain, yet a beauty profound,

As life's precious essence emerges unbound.

The struggle, the push, a battle within,

A triumphant release, where joy and pain spin.

For in this sweet pain, a miracle's unveiled,

A treasure delivered, a love never scaled.

So let the tears mingle with laughter's embrace,

In the rhythm of birth, in this sacred space.

For within every ache, in each tender sigh,

Lies the essence of life, where sweet pain can't deny.

Delivery's journey, a testament true,

Of the strength of the heart, the love that imbues.

In the sweetness of pain, in the labor of love,

Comes forth a new chapter, ordained from above, its my eternal joy.
