He sleeps now,
the deepest of Sleep.
Like every night
he called her to him
she went, took his hand
listened to the pain
his labored breathing
the panic in his voice
watched the grown man
shriveled in a fetal thirty nine kilos,
this Child always struggled
her First Born,
fifty four years ago
she gave him Life
His hand Desperately holding hers
Releases, at last
He sleeps
Exhausted she put herself to bed
Dozed til daybreak
when silence woke her
she hurried to her Birthday Boy
found him still asleep
and knew it then
to be forever

Dear Pattie, I’m afraid in this case the pain was anything but peaceful, but I do know what you mean.
