A poem for my wife
To tell her how amazing she is
For giving birth and looking after our daughter
Whilst battling with Covid<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The birth was actually an inspiration
How to nail hypnobirthing
Despite not being told the birthing centre was closed
And you even tolerated my driving<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You made a mid-wife cry
And they said you were too calm to be in labour
We\u2019ve got through a tough time
With some hard work, an amazing mum and baby, and a lovely neighbour<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I know we\u2019ve been emotional
And with lack of sleep things have been said
But I already feel this has made us stronger
Who needs sleep when we\u2019ve got Liv, we can sleep when we\u2019re dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019re an amazing mummy
And I\u2019m sorry if I\u2019ve upset you
All I can do is my best and will always give my opinion
But I don\u2019t mean to second guess you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Am sure some difficult times to come
But let\u2019s just do our best
To walk away and chat later
Will be my biggest test<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are both strong
And therefore sometimes clash
At least I\u2019m not like some husbands
Who don\u2019t take an interest and are always working or on the lash<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Livvy\u2019s going to be a legend
Having bits of me and you
Hopefully she\u2019ll be a world record holder
By the age of 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me, you, Liv and Charlie
We\u2019ve made a bad ass tribe
Let\u2019s try not to get caught up on the little things
And do better than survive, let\u2019s as always thrive<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wife & Daughter was written shortly after Simon’s baby daughter was born and he and his wife were getting to grips with the massive change in their life and relationship that having a baby brings. Simon hoped this may resonate with some readers that are new parents and never know what may help.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
