Premature Birth Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Premature birth
​​​​​​​Thursday,4th October 2018

For the mother,
it becomes harder
to give premature birth 
with the fear of death 

she is at great risk
but never asks
about what shall happen!
she has the joy of heaven 

the child's birth is her holy task
and too when it is tough to start
with the fewer survival chances for both 
but nothing matters for her except child's birth 

the joy knows no bound
the happiness is found 
the child is given utmost care
and brought up with love and funfare 

the child may find it an odd
but something more is to add
he may find later that it was an ideal situation
and whatever they could do was love's reflection
