Memories and Labor Pains


I see myself through memory's mirror
when I was in labor with my first,
it was a time of excitement and joy
but with tourette syndrome I felt cursed.

There came a sudden emergency
and a c-section they'd have to try,
the epidural was hard to put in
while in my mind I thought I'd die.

I was wide awake the entire time
and the tourette's made me jerk,
I was numb and flipping like a fish
while the doctors tried to work.

The anesthesia made me nervous
causing me to flip myself about,
the tourette syndrome was bad
and the baby wanted to come out.

It took two doctors to do surgery
and they did the best they could,
they put an oxygen mask on my face
and they did all that they should.

No matter how hard my body flipped
they accomplished the task at hand,
my baby girl came into the world
to a fish that couldn't stand.

The doctors wished they had known
what would happen with me awake,
it was too late to put me asleep
and that may have been a mistake.

Even though it was a challenge
for the doctors who were there,
the outcome was amazingly good
and the experience is one I share.

I leave the mirror of my life stories
in the mind of times gone past,
even though the experience was hard
it's definitely a memory that will last.
