Days drilled into weeks and weeks into months
Before the novelty of my marriage could wear off,
Fate surprised me for I was expecting
I welcomed the onslaught of emotions gladly this time
Oh! And for papa,he wasn't crowned
Despite the lengths he went through
Mama,as usual,was short of words.
Surprised? No
The prospects of being a mother drew me unconsciously closer to her
I couldn't find it in me to be mad
Maybe he did it wrong or,
Maybe inks were not my way or better still,
Maybe I was at fault for being a girl child
Things for my child,male or female,will be different
My voice shaking but with underlying hints of promises
