Mother Nature takes her own sweet time
Plan what you will
Expect what you want
But there is no denying who’s in charge
All creation cries out
So the story goes
And so it is
The magnificent event
Is a common one
But there is nothing ordinary
About snowflakes
And fingerprints
What a mystery
What a miracle
Each and every one
None commonplace
Each an opportunity
To change the world
As we know it
From invisible
To physical
We are transformed
By new birth
By the shift
The universe
Turns it’s eye on us
And gives the gift of life
For a time
Embrace the wonder
And the chance
To right the wrongs
And build kingdoms
That will endure
None so significant
As the bond between
Family and those we adopt
To expand and contract
To push through
The tunnel so tight
So hard to maneuver
Will not remember the journey
From womb to air
Screams of pain
From Mother to child
Everything will change
Break out the champagne
Light the cigars
It’s going to be a celebration
A toast to the joy
That is in my soul
After the anguish
Comes the peace
And the welcome
Of angels and men
Oh what a magnificent
Mysterious thing
To be a woman
Who bears a child
Who will become
A bridge
Between those
On separate sides
Push and breathe
Bear down
To bring to the world
The gift of life
As I wait
The anticipation
Is stirring my soul
from mother to daughter
She a mother
Making the world
Brick by brick
I am blessed among women
As I wait in wonder
For this special delivery
