Real Bundle Of Joy Poem by David Beckham

Real Bundle Of Joy

Rating: 5.0


You started out without form
Then you filled that void with joy
All the months and years that lay so barren like the desert
In one sweet cry, you are part of human race

The frustrations of this good union, with no child it mounts
Angry, angry, angry and angry we have become
Repeated efforts, again and again
But like a soil with no nutrients, we sow in vain

Noble Men in white gowns, try their tricks
To our tents with best of hopes, we dispatch
The guinea pigs of science your mother have become
On my pee we set our hopes

Time stops

Silence engulfs us

The wait is on.....
And the tension mounts

Noooooooo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ....we cry out
We'll have to try again...no luck this time
Tears wash our faces as we fall to our knees and lock in embrace
Heaven-oh-heaven, Please do not forsake your son
Do not abandon your own

What we want so bad, we cant bring forth
In solitude, we find solace

In my past maybe some bad I did
That it come back to close the womb
Deliver me oh Lord from the hands of the wicked ones

The tales of a father to his son
That he know, what a joy he is to him
All the months and years that lay so barren like the desert
In one sweet cry you are part of human race

This is such a phenomenal piece. I am pleased to read that you received that long awaited bundle of joy, your child. As for the poem, it was wonderful to read and feel the tug of anticipation and relief. Love the imagery you invoke with this stanza: 'Noble Men in white gowns, try their tricks To our tents with best of hopes, we dispatch The guinea pigs of science your mother have become On this life's_pee_ stick_ checker, we set our hopes'
