Miska

3 hours prior
to your birth,
i was busy
picking out
what to wear
3 outfits later
i settled for
the first one
you made
me wait
for 40 weeks
before i could
see your
beautiful face
so baby
wait a while
while i got my
legs shaved
toe nails done
i wished
i could relive
those funny moments
again
with your daddy
closed to being
furious
having to wait
and wonder
"will we make it on time?"


*yes we made it on time. one hour in the labour ward, Miska greeted the world loud and clear.
