Once more I was listening to the radio talk show.

This miscarriage may not be only one of pregnancies but in my view a miscarriage of justice, authority and the bond between a husband and a wife. If this lady had two previous miscarriages shouldn’t her doctor have been more watchful of her progress beyond the 28 weeks. Also why are people bailing out at the first sign of disharmony? If the husband cares this much then why are they unable to talk this thing through?

The Doctor heard what she had to say

He directed her to come the following day

Evening came then night then came pain

The bleeding did also come back again.

Her husband rushed her to the emergency

In distress they learnt they had lost the baby

Right at the start of the second trimester

Disillusion if she was destine to ever

Mother a child through natural birth

Impatient to prove her womanly worth

She insisted and wanted her husband to be

And pressured him into an ultimatum

Reciprocate or she’ll be staying at her mum

Running away from emotions wouldn’t repair

Intense feelings they used to share

And not understanding his emotional strain

Got to be selfish and ignores his pain

Exempt diagnosis, unwilling spouse, what ever may
