New life is sweetly awesome
though birthing could be gruesome.
Mother and baby become twosome
and baby is surely handsome.
Father becomes lonesome
and relation becomes troublesome.
Parents become quarrelsome
and child is made irksome.
Father becomes fearsome
and child becomes tiresome.
Mother becomes bothersome
and child becomes wearisome.
By the time the family is foursome
the edges become worrisome.
But remember,
it doesn’t have to be somber.
Children come first
and parents create time for selves.
