Stork BabyA Poem by Jenni BaileyA baby girl is born, Daddy’s waiting for her first cry Her existence is so fragile, she could die Every minute counted, she needed help to live Daddy waiting; something just had to give Years went by, she’s 10 years old Daddy’s care grew to be cold She worked so hard for that first breath Now, what does she have left? She has to work to have a life Cerebral Palsy is already so demanding, why? That first breath she drew? She’s no longer thanking you You’ve made her feel that your life was interrupted When did she stop being accepted? She is not a stork baby She’s made herself into a young lady © 2024 Jenni Bailey |
