A Child From The Glass

Fertility is not the same story for everyone,

For some it's easy but for a lot of people,

It's like trying to climb the great wall,

The natural way, pills, herbs, and medicines,

It's more than just frustration,

The process of trying and failing to get pregnant,

Can drain a woman,

IVF often becomes one of the last options,

Many cycles, and sometimes miscarriages,

Waiting with every try for something to stick,

The expense becomes a burden,

It can create distance between you and your partner,

You end up blaming each other,

When no one knows why these things happen,

Going to different doctors,

All of them with different outcomes

Then one day, it does wok,

It can take years, but in that moment,

When you see your child on the screen,

The amount of pain, fighting, waiting, and trying,

It all fades, as the broken look on your face,

Is replaced with a smile,

As you watch your miracle child.
