This is not the last battle
This is not the final blow
However
We have made the U turn
This is the road with no return
A pivotal battle on the path of liberation
Be prepared
It might even get more ugly
More grief and pain
But at the end of the tunnel
The light is glowing
insha’ Allah
Just read the writing on the wall
The birth of a baby
Takes incredible energy
Patience, courage and willingness to sacrifice
Sacrifice one’s comfort, sleep, normality
And even one’s own life
A mother goes through unimaginable pain
It even gets more acute
Towards the end
But then, suddenly
Before we know it, it’s all over
Life is born
First breath is taken
A baby screams
Of joy and relief
Mama and Baba cry
Such is Freedom
