A poem based on this article.
Having kids is hard
Difficult on both parents
Sleepless nights…and days
All bleed together
A cacophony of stress
That saps energy
Babies, though, are great
With chubby cheeks and fat feet
But…we’re still tired
Four weeks? Laughable
Healing takes longer than that
Both emotional
And then physical
For a country so obsessed
With the birth of babes
It should be easy
To both have a baby and
Have time with baby.
