My pregnancy is my choice alone, so well wishers clear out right now.

My Pregnancy is My Choice

Yes, it is 
My pregnancy is my choice
and the righteousness of my 
choice, my decision
made me mother of 
a thirteen year old girl
and a nine year old boy
I am now thirty six, and 
My pregnancy is my choice.

It was extreme joy, when I 
celebrated my first anniversary
of success, of marrying a man 
trusting Newton's law of Magnetism, 
opposite poles attract, caring the 
efforts of love in my womb
And I was blessed with her 
tiny feet, still a time it was 
tough to merge our like poles.

While it is a perfect accident, 
the birthdays' celebrated in December.
Everyone, everyone around,
put all force measures-
To persuade me, to convince me 
and to terminate my pregnancy
which they called it was mere
an accident.
but it weren't for me, and 
My pregnancy is my choice.

Three years passed in a wink of hurry.
when life started to settle,
thankful of the gains and losses 
We mixed and matched, our choices
well, again the anniversary bells jingled
and we waiting for the ting-tong
for nothing, less to a candle light dinner 
rest all to place, lest celebrations 
couldn't be fun always.

Giving a 'no' and 'no' to everyone around,
putting away the orders of many 
I moved yet again with his tiny feet growing within me;
When, I knew well none would care 
anyway better my little one
We walked together, 
We ate together,
And we learned 
the act of determination together.

And now, they hold me strong 
guarding me from both sides.
Keeping me all well in their company alone.
The same group, came in 
not to further make me 
Decide my pregnancy, when
My pregnancy is my choice 
They gave another formula of 
'sterilisation', when still
My pregnancy is my choice.

Can something be Constant?

Yes, it's a fine age. She is in her 40's.

I still retain my eight letter name. I know a day when You and I got to leave I have to finely decorate the space in all extravaganza.
