I Love To Hear You Cry Poem by Akachukwu Lekwauwa

I Love To Hear You Cry

Rating: 4.5


Like a deer listening to the wind,
The waiting have struck me still,
Your cry alone will do the magic.

My ear eagerly awaits,
The sound that men hitherto disperse,
i love to hear you cry.

From the round enclave of nature,
No eye ever journeyed therein,
Rest our bundle of joy.

A journey of nine score months,
From one world to another,
Through the natural highway to life.

Oh! my baby nephew,
Your cry just made my day,
With my thunderbolt shouts
I react to your timely cry.

What a remarkable and lovely birth-poem for your nephew! You have launched his arrival into the world with the very best type of gift - a close relative's love. The opening image is really wonderful! A deer listening to the wind describes you waiting for news of the baby's successful birth, but it spills over and suggests a loveliness we hope will be true of the new child's life. The gentleness and fragility of a deer we project onto the new-born and that's why this new-born needs loving uncles like you.
