To My Unborn
www.facebook.com/WRRPoetry [To My Unborn]
Please come quickly
Mummy awaits you
Daily she prays fervently
That her dream, of you, comes through

Do not delay
Mummy is so worried
Her beauty fades away
If only you knew her before we got married

Yesterday your granny came around
Called mummy many names
Because you weren’t on ground
Thank God I was there to quench the flames

Same yesterday
Your mum’s best friend
Who got married same day
Gave birth to her second

Now mummy is crying
Refusing every form of consolation
Beloved, when shall we stop this waiting?
When shall we change position?
