  poems for a new tomorrow

can’t you hear me knockin’

Can’t you hear me knockin’?

I’m almost here you know?

It’s as if it doesn’t matter,

but I know that, that’s not so.

For you have taken such good care of me

and it’s so, so nice in here.

Sharing Mommy’s wonderful warmth,

with nothing known to fear.

But, I’m speaking from the inside,

not sure what’s in store for me.

There’s one thing that’s for certain;

I’m finally ready to be set free.

As to how I’m going to do this? 

Your guess is as good a mine.

I just want you to know, Mommy;

your boy’s gonna be just fine.

And when my time comes,

there will be no way to turn back.

For it won’t be much longer, Mom;

till I can join you in the sack.

So can’t you hear me knockin’?

I’m just around the bend.

Then I can really join you

and finally put your labor to an end.
