This is my first poem,
I have no clue what to write,
But I will try.
I'm having my first child,
How will I provide for and nurture a life?
I have never been here before,
This is my first time.
There used to be a time,
When time didn't matter
To a multi-celled mass.
This is my last poem,
I still have no clue what to write,
But it will be easier this time for me.
This time around my eldest child
Must provide for and nurture a life.
I've been here many times before,
But this is my last time.
There was never a time
When time mattered to a multi-celled mass.
This is the first and last poem.
