Birth

While writers write
and artists paint
women have babies
the power of creation
is the same

a work of pride
hardship strain
of giving
abiding love

they are acquainted
knowing the same things
having the same feelings
watching as the perfection
constructs
emerges

then all stand back
and glow in its doing
admiring its existence

and smiling
congratulate
the creator
for the making

of the newborn
masterpiece
a work of art.
