Poems From an Odd Person

Do You Feel Like a Proper Grown Up Now? (For A)

Do you feel like a proper grown up now?

Has the enormity of it sunk in?

Have you reconciled

You're having a child?

Does it feel like the most nerve-wracking thing?

Is your head swimming with indecision?

Getting through the pregnancy and the birth,

Then the work's not done,

It's only begun:

There's the rest of the child's life on this earth.

Although you're feeling unwell such a lot

And you have worries about what is to come,

I believe in you,

Whatever you do.

I know you'll be an extra special mum.
