‘I’m a midwife and I’m proud But there’s no need to sasy it loud Midwives see sadness give kindness See happiness and pain Support women and families Some who lose, some who gain There are many facets to our role And being’with woman’ is in our soles To be present as a child arrives Is a true honour in our eyes We hope, We give, We cry, We love We are so priviledged to just be there It sounds a cliché but it is true There’s nothing else I’d rather do.’ Jenny Clarke n.d. Midwifery things, 2017)
