Expecting

a poem by Vidya Kudva

Glowing skin
Shiny hair
Hearty cravings
Agonies to share
What they see
They talk about
Their own tales
Or other’s bouts
What do I need?
Listen to me
Support and cheering
A friendship tree
Imagine sometimes
Oh, so small kicks
Or tiny sighs
As the clock ticks

Enjoying the feeling
As the days go
Don’t like the changes
Hard to stop the flow
Husband’s excited
Will be a great Dad
Planning all things
Is his next fad
Waiting to see you
O, baby of mine
Don’t you be scared!
Mama’s fine!
