Analysis of Nine months
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
She felt the baby inside her stomach
It was fed and kicking and warm
She tapped her message and spoke her song and hoped he'd felt no harm
She tried to move up off the chair but struggled to get anywhere
And so they knew that it was time
And birthed into the air
