Does anyone know of this poem?

[marilla]

My baby's 6 months old now, but at antenatal classes the midwife gave us a thick stapled handout of info, and on the back was a poem that moved me to tears and I really meant to hang onto it....it ended up in the bin and it's really bugging me now cos I want to find that poem. I'm pretty sure it was simply called "Childbirth", and every verse contained the line, "the pain, the pain, the pain". Other bits I remember are "a smile....rosebud lips... a tear". Not much to go on, but does it ring any bells with anyone?

I SOMETIMES HOLD MY BABYS HEAD
LOOK INTO HER EYES
ALL I SEE IS INNOCENCE
AND MISCHIEF IN DISGUISE
SHE?S MY WHOLE WORLD, SO PRECIOUS
MY SUNRISE, MY LIGHT
A TINY BUNDLE OF ENERGY
WHICH FILLS ME WITH DELIGHT
I HOLD HER IN MY ARMS
AND ALL MY WORRIES FLOAT AWAY
JUST ONE SMILE FROM HER ROSEBUD LIPS
ENSURES SHE GETS HER WAY
TEARS THAT DROP FROM HER EYES
FILL ME WITH DESPAIR
THE ONE THING IN MY LIFE
THAT MAKES MY HEART TEAR
MY CHILD IS MY LIFELINE
THE BLOOD RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS
MY BABY GIRL FOREVER
MY HEART, MY SOUL, MY GAIN.

This looks like it

Thanks tenalady but that's not it unfortunately. It definitely had teh line "the pain, the pain, the pain" in every verse.

I am really sad, I tried to Google it but couldnt find anything. What was the name of the leaflet it was on?? Maybe we could find it that way

Yeah i'm equally sad singswife, tried googling it as well but no luck. It was on the back of the handout that had been produced by the local hospital for the midwives to hand out in antenatal classes - so not a government leaflet or anything official like that. S'pose i could email my midwife and acknowledge that she must have a million other more important things to do....she might take pity on my sadness!

just say you have lost the handouts and could you have some more..
