Gym junkie

Spent a couple of years working out
Had two girls at home: wanted a son
Wanted to have my boy
Wanted to give him a good start!
The workouts were gruelling
Hard work that's for sure
No other way to make certain
No other way to make sure
To give our baby the very best start!
I remember running up
Montefiore Hill: my legs like lead
Though I tried to make them move
It was like I just couldn't make it
In my head! Forced my self and 
Finally I was at the top
I was just so thankful that I could stop!
Those stairs along the River Torrens
We ran up and down them
So many times! My legs burning
My lungs just the same! 
Our son is now 18 years old
Well worth the effort!
