The baby’s mind 2: In the womb

This place is cool and cozy

With an unlimited supply of resources

Always at my call…or before I even call

No lack, no pain,no tears,no stress

Nothing at all to worry or think about

So warm and comfortable, so homely

In fact no word can fully describe the pleasure I’m experiencing here in the womb

I am in control of everything, every moment

The commander in chief of my territory

I play the music and mum dances to it

I dictate the tune and dad follows my instruction to the last letter

You may say I am wicked but you were once like me

My comfort determines how comfortable mum and dad are

So I only make requests that will bring comfort to me

Thanks to my host; my dearest mum

I really look forward to seeing her beautiful face

Her voice I hear every now and then

Her melodious songs wakes me up

Her prayers for me stretch beyond the numbers of days I have spent here

Sometimes she screams and shouts probably when she is in pain

Yet she understands that the pain is only for a while

Mum, anytime you place dad’s hand on your tummy to feel my kicks

I feel delighted to have you both

Your voices and the love you both share make me leap for joy

You make this environment really joyful for me

I sense your presence even when you are both asleep

I might not have seen you both physically but I can identify you

Your voices are distinct even in the midst of a million voices

Your fragrances smell so unique

When you both touch me I feel secure…it feels so different from a doctor’s touch

The sweet taste I enjoy from every ‘bite’ of food I take in here truly defines your love for me
