Sonnet - 9 Poem by Shankaran Kutty

In the labour room I stood beside her
She, my wife, was screaming in pain
My daughter was to become a big sister
Seeing this, I said, never again
Suddenly the door was burst open
And rushed in the doctor and nurse
I watched unfold as they worked as one
The greatest event in this universe
“Push”, “Push”, the doctor screamed
As I stood there dazed and stunned
And then she came after what it seemed
Ages, all covered in blood
And when I held my daughter close to my chest
I felt the presence of The Lord, I was blessed
