It's that first kick
When you know it's real
Just like a little flutter
That's all you feel
To know that life
Has truly begun
Perhaps a daughter
Or loving son
The miracle of life
Growing in your tummy
A reassuring little kick
For its mummy
As the months pass
The kick gets stronger
Digging in your ribs
Can't wait any longer
Then one day
When the time is right
That kicking little bundle
Sees the light
You hold their hand
You laugh and cry
You look at their feet
And now know why!
