To My Three Children by Rachel Clarke
25th March 2022
I did not birth you
There are no stories of a 20-hour labour
Emergency Caesarean
Or home birth in a pool
I know not the rush to the hospital
professionals to thank
A new love in my partners eyes
I have no bonding story
Of the playlist of songs
How we chose your name
Your first cry, your first poo
How you lay bloodied on my breast
Both of us in tears
Mine was not the first face you saw
But for each one of you
I saw you and I loved you with outrageous joy
And my deep and painful wound teenage wound
“You will never have children”
Gently healed with the balm of your smiles
