Life Changing Babies

A poem I wrote after the birth of my son.

Your life will never be the same.
Priorities won't be torn.
Number one now has a name.

Right away you'd give your life
To stop them feeling pain.
Like a glow shared with your wife
The special bond you gain.

I'm not saying it's a piece of cake
When he just won't go to sleep.
But it's the easiest of rough to take
For the benefits you reap.

To say a glow is slightly wrong
For such indescribable joy.
An emotion so strong that I nearly fainted
The first time I saw my wee boy.
