My Little Rosemary

My little Rosemary

It was a year ago when I was in the hospital.
I was in the delivery room and in labor.
I felt like I was in hell,  constant ache
I felt sharp cramps and it was the worst pain in my life.
I shriek, I screech and I cried agony.
I soon understood my mother felt when she had me.
My face grew cherry as I squint my eyes... it was difficult to breathe.
Oh, that pain... it hurt, it bloody hurt.
I hear the doctor begging to push again.
I push with all my might.
It felt like an awful work out, I kept on pushing.
I hear the doctor saying that I was crowned.
My child is coming, I didn't give up, but the torment and discomfort aches
I gave that final push and the pain vanishes.
My ears blur out until I heard her first cry.

She was a beautiful gift that the goddess Hera presented
The nurse hand me a bundle of joy.
I understood my mother's story, my origin.
Strings pulled my heart, my eyes blur with tears and I couldn't help as I smile.
I held her in my arms, her cheeks were french rose pink, her hair was a mix of chocolate and caramel
She had her daddy's eyes, and smiled.
I knew that she will be my child,
My little Rosemary,
My Roise
