all I could pray by Emily G Myerssleeping calmly
in a womb
warm and protected
hearing only a heartbeat
that is all I could pray
to be with you
alone together
bonded and connected
hearing only two heartbeats
that is all I could pray
now so very close
but once so far
excited and nervous
hearing only a heartbeat
that is all I could pray
sleeping calmly
to be with you
now so very close
hearing only a heartbeat

What a lovely way to describe Motherhood, togetherness before a baby is born. Just lovely. Good work. Peace & Joy, Jean |
