Waiting

Mother in hospital, pregnant in a ward,
Waiting for her baby which will be adored.
Father by the bedside, waiting for success.
Waiting for his first child, waiting to impress.
Grandma watching proudly, Grandpa just the same.
Waiting for the little one, who will have their name.
Baby in mum's tummy, waiting for the dawn
Waiting for the time, when it will be born.
