Bump on the belly

Bump on the belly

Sit and think about
What she goes through

Gestating creation in the womb
Nurturing maternal instincts

As I go about my business
My feet don’t swell
No morning sickness

Swimming in nausea
She’s a trooper
No complaints

If it was me I’d be
Screaming from the rooftops
Asking for help or some relief

She soldiers on
Says she’s fatiguing
On the couch for days

9 months on the rock pile
Producing Oscar winners
Or a astronaut exploring planets

She doesn’t get her props
Suffers in silence or screams
As I roll over and catch some more Zzz

The hardest part of my job
Delivering swimming tadpoles

As she produces an
Emmy award winner
Or someone splitting an atom

I wake up on my day off
Have some coffee

While she’s doing laundry
Chasing little souls around

Bump on the belly is a
Badge of Honor
Make sure you say love you mama
