Clinical Chemistry 16-C

A poem about Anterior Pituitary hormones.



She cries aloud, caused by the pain
(Its dark and clumped, someone pull me out)
She feels it, she knows it without a doubt
The pangs she's bearing for me wont be in vain


Time to time the pain stops 
Numbness follows after that
BETA - ENDORPHIN aids in this
Inhibiting the perception of pain


One last push, she brought me out
(Its bright, Its cold, Where am I?)
(I cry lustily to all the unfamiliarities)
Her voice, I heard
Her skin, I touched
Her heartbeat, I felt once more
Nothing in the world can soothe me 
but the warmth i feel in her arms


(What's this I'm feeling?)
(I cried once more)
She rises and held me back to her arms
and places my head near her breast
I stopped and sucked as rich milk flows
This milk filled with warmth
produced by her, stimulated by PROLACTIN
I stare at her and she stares back 
She hushed and hums me back to sleep


Years have passed and I have grown
all thanks to you and GROWTH HORMONE
You're always there I've always known
Never letting me feel alone


You always come home stressed from work 
ADRENOCORTICOTROPIC HORMONE

would response to this
But nevertheless you always say
"That my child would always take my stress away"


You provided me everything I needed
Not too much and never less
Like my THYROID STIMULATING HORMONE
that helps me balance in my metabolism


As I grow older I noticed changes 
afraid, I distant a part from you
but you know me well, you hugged me tight
and said " I know, I've been through it too"


My body, changed shaped 
I bled for several days
due to the production of LUTEINIZING HORMONE
and FOLLICLE - STIMULATING HORMONE
I was scared but you were always there
to teach me of what to do


Once in awhile I trouble you
But in the end 
You'd always say
You Love me and everything was never in vain



"A mother's love for her child is like nothing else in the world. It knows no law, no pity, it dares all things and crushes down remorselessly all that stands in its path."
-- Agatha Christie
