Answers: Labour Pains

EXERCISE 1:

When mama gave birth to me,
Life was there that day.
And she taught me all about life and love
With her labour pains.

Somehow you got to work your way through it,
Even though its dark inside.
You will be pushed from your comfort zone.
To places you can’t hide.

There’s light at the end of each tunnel
But sometimes its scary in light,
So, put some trust in strangers.
We’re all kind of helpless inside.

I heard her voice moaning and shouting,
And I guess somehow that helped.
Emotions must also not be kept inside.
You must learn to let it out.

I knew she was not mad at me,
This new life was not my fault,
As when it was done there were shouts of glee,
Her moaning had come to halt.

In each and every passage.
She helped me realize,
In a struggle of pain there is much to gain.
So just keep pushing, it’s fine.
