The Miracle Of Birth
You and I have been together for so long.
We wanted a family to survive us once we was gone.
And now here I sit, pregnant with our first,
A miracle has happened, And this should fill our needs once
the baby is ready for his or her birth.
I sit on the stool in front of you, and lean back between
your parted legs, back on your chest.
My feet swollen from the weight in carrying our child, I
find I need a rest.
You place your hands around my My swollen belly as our
miracle of life starts to kick under your hands.
A smile crosses your face, and I see the love in your eyes
as God fulfills our plans.
How could I love you more at this moment if I tried to love
you more than what I already feel? This love I have for you in my heart,
soul, and mind could not be more real.
We both grow more in love with our baby each day.
You constantly hold us in your arms, with our baby still in
me, and I talk to him, and when his little feet print show through my
skin, we tickle him and watch his foot jerk away.
We watch him grow each day as the doctors monitor his
progress, and my belly gets big.
He climbs up into my ribs, and I think he has a pick up in
there at times, and has started to dig.
Finally the big day comes, you are panicking, but you never
let go of my hand.
You hold me close to you on the way to the emergency room,
and they call the doctor as planned.
You speak to me calmly and help me up to breathe when I
feel the delivery pains.
You wipe my face, and treat me with great amounts of love
as the labor momentum gains.
Here comes our baby, I just heard the doctor say he saw his
head crown.
One or two more good pushes should do it is what the doctor
believes now.
One last good push, and he finally pops out.
It's a boy the doctor proclaims, as they clean his nasal
and mouth passages with a bulb spout.
They wrap him in a blanket, and weigh him you see.....
Then they measure him, from the top of his head, to the
bottom of his feet.
Then as the nurses record what they've found.
The doctor hands him to us, his parents, and we are proud.
We both nuzzle our baby close to our chest, and smile as he
yawns from his long journey here.
We both smile at him as we both sat I love you to him, as
his beautiful green brown eyes open, and suddenly appear.
Then you hold us both close once more, as you have many
times
before today, and then you gently kiss away the tears .
then you gently smile as you look in my tired eyes, kiss
me, then our son, and then say I love you my dear.
And as I look close at you, your halo and wings appear ....
Bright as the sun, and at that moment, my love for you
could not be more clear.
My days in the hospital comes to and end as the nurses
ready our release, as I think about how I was once all alone.
And now we are all buckled in, and headed as a family
towards our home.
