The labour
Was a loud cry of pain
And though her blood ran like a river
Her vision of smiling grateful generations
Made her feel she was not alone on this journey
Suspense-filled voices of supporters cried out: Push! Push!
In that moment the pain was immaterial as she gave birth
To the child Zimbabwe, at once handsome and beautiful
Intelligent, wise and far-seeing.
