For Him

"If you have this baby, you will almost assuredly die."

"I understand. I want to have it."

   And with those words, I sealed my fate,

   doomed myself to an early death,

   but as long as my child made its birth date,

   I worried not about my last breath.

   Now it's been nine months and my end is nigh,

   but his survival has been worth my sleep;

   please believe, I never wanted to die,

   it is for him I soon enter the deep.

Waaaa-aaaaah!

"Mrs. Simmons, you have a healthy baby- Mrs. Simmons? Mrs. Simmons?!"
