    Birth

    by David Knape

    While writers write
    and artists paint
    women have babies
    the power of creation
    is the same

    a work of pride
    hardship strain
    of giving
    abiding love

    they are acquainted
    knowing the same things
    having the same feelings
    watching as the perfection
    constructs
    emerges

    then all stand back
    and glow in its doing
    admiring its existence

    and smiling
    congratulate
    the creator
    for the making

    of the newborn
    masterpiece
    a work of art.
