The Day We Found Out (2003) Poem by David Joel Rodriguez

Early morning work cancelled.
It was a nice sunny brisk day.
Was a day without hassle.
The happiest day since I met my pretty.

Four months in the works.
She walks to the close-by Dr.'s office.
I get to the office stare with a smirk.
She is sits with sweats and a lilac pale shirt.

I walk up wanting a candy-kiss.
No luck but a turn of the page.
Walk in to the patient room.
I found my mother and welcomed us in.

My heart was pounding as if on a stage.
My baby walks by as I smell her perfume.
We wait for the doctor eager to begin.
She sits on the examination table.

Doctor walks in and begins to check.
Everything is quiet as we look at the cable.
It's a gir....no wait...it's a boy!
What a way to end our day
with a little bundle of joy...
