Verse Birth

born motherless at 4.15am

this poem is a disruptive 

foundling, determined to 

come into this world noisily,

a Saturday child that cried

out through the darkness,

wake up, wake up

and give me life,

a weekend child, a boy

a working lad, a gladiator

"a Saturday child that cried
out through the darkness,
wake up, wake up
and give me life,"
What a beautiful way to put it out, Graham. I loved it!
