Birth ~ Past
Abandoned, alone,
giving birth in a lift shaft
disgraced and disowned
Birth ~ Present
Nestled in the womb
Nourishing and nurturing
First child of my child.
Birth ~ Future
Awaiting your birth
Natural nativity
December delivery!

Yes indeed, my youngest child and her husband are expecting her first baby in December ~ and I could not be more excited. This child will be loved and treasured by all. Sadly as the first Haiku reflects not all babies have such an auspicious start to their lives.

Tell me I am wrong but it seemed to me this is a modern rendition of Jesus birth. Don’t worry, his work has been achieved and he is safe in spirit. Unfortunately he is being worshipped against his will-

Not an allegorical rendition of Jesus’s birth, but very insightful of you to tyhink it was! Just a personal reflection on how things have changed since the 1960’s and before when a birth to an unmarried mother was considered a disgrace and would lead to desperate measures. Fortunately times have changed.

I like the emotional changes and shifts between past, present, and future in your poem. Beautiful ending as well.
