Disturbed

The child comes, great expectations
  then begins a life disturbed
Schedules broken, every joyful
  cry needs attention, complete
We fit to their schedule and don't
  realize we lost time, control
Just this desire to answer, quiet
  calm and take care, just as in a
Stable parents swaddled and held
  close this fragile life, gone
Into the world and night having to
  share with strangers with this sight
