These Last Few Hours

My cousin Amanda sent me this beautiful poem tonight and I wanted to be sure that I included it in our blog.

Beautiful words for my daughter or son...who I will meet very soon, I hope.

These Last Few Hours

It is important to me
That I spend a part
Of the next few hours
Here alone with you
In the darkness

You and I will never be
This close again
Soon you will be
A tiny person
All on your own.

No longer the kicking,
Demanding bulge in my body
That I have grown to love so much

I pray that you will be safely guided
On your journey to my arms

And I ask for the strength, courage and
The power of birthing, to open my body and mind for you
And ever so gently us as one will become two
