Poem for expectant mothers

While I was pregnant someone shared this poem with me and it made me cry – in a good way!

When labour started I read it again and I think it helped me enjoy early labour and those last few hours of pregnancy.

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.
By morning you will be a tiny person all your own.
No longer the kicking,demanding bulge in my body
that i have grown to love so well.

I pray God will safely guide you on your Journey
and, i ask him for strength to help you all i can.

Again, you signal your impatience to be free.

Time to wake your Daddy!
