For my long time pal Deb who gave birth to a radiant being 40 years ago today: “I’m in place that’s soft and warm. My organs now completely formed. I grow so quickly it’s hard to see the difference between you and me. I hear my Mommy’s heart beat strong. A lullaby to me, a song. With her every movement to and fro, she rocks me gently, with love, I know. As she goes about her busy way, she thinks about me all the day. Will I look like my big Bro? How fast or slow will I grow? Right now inside my Mom I’m safe. Secure and cuddled in that hidden place. I know not worry or troubled times. I feel comfort. I’m completely fine. In these many months to come, then Mom and I get one on one!”
HAPPY BIRTH DAY.
