The pain.

The whole family waited patiently
Doctor coached her to keep pushing
Suzy the nurse prepared cautiously
With the forceps and scissors
Mother screamed like she didn't care
What was happening next

At that time
She thought of nothing but her baby only
The pain she had to struggle with
As if she was giving up her life
To let her child free

Father held his wife's hand
Warm and firm
Giving her all strengths she needed
He mouthed to her 'You can do this'
But inside he couldn't bear to see the pain she faced

Doctor pulled the entire body out
Delicately, she handed the baby to his father
Father whispered iqama to his newborn child
The baby cried endlessly
And mother breathed a long sigh of relief.
