"Self-Portrait at 23 Weeks Pregnant" by Anna Rose Bain‘I Am With Child’ by Michael Charles Maibach The Society May 8, 2021 Beauty, Culture, Poetry 1 Comment .For all my lifeI felt alone—Out on the road,As well as home. I saw couples With children near,Filled to the brimWith sweetness dear. But then it came,This life in me.I am “with child”—Now all can see. It’s in my walk,My softer voice,My warmer hand, My surer choice. I sleep so well,And rise with ease,No longer sad—My soul at peace. This comes from God,His best gift, sure.This life in meWill now endure. For all my lifeI felt alone.Then this dear childCame to my home. . . Michael Charles Maibach began writing poems at age nine.
