A Teenage Delivery-- a poem of a young physician

The night had just the sky embraced,
with stars that blushed like freckles.
Alone in bed, a girl in labor,
cried out in pain for her mother.
Nine months had passed that brought
her here, now cursed with a delivery.

A painfully beautiful... Do you remember...When you see something that itches
your heart...I am afraid that any of my words about this poem may hurt something delicate---
something fragile and small...
