Baby Feet

My heart
is the thing that beats
every time I see
those little feets

A Wish For Juna

A wish for you
for every day
you grow and change
and become
A wish for beauty
in your heart
and all around you
A wish for peace
in your world
that you may know
only love and give it too
A wish for sleep when
the day is done
and dreams that blossom
one by one
This is a wish
for Juna, my little one
My love, my stars and my sun

*Written in celebration of Juna's 3 month birthday, almost a year ago I became pregnant.

Childbirth

Eight hours
Sixty contractions
and there
YOU were

Let's Start From The Beginning

Pregnancy, Thirty-Four Weeks

Hard to breath
hard to sit
hard to get back up
hard to stand
hard to walk
hard to run
hard to wear pants
hard to wear shoes
on swollen feet
hard to sleep
always uncomfortable
in stretching skin

hard to bend over
hard to SQUAT
hard to work
hard to play
hard to wash dishes
hard to clean
but easy to eat in between
hard to lift
hard to carry
hard to think
hard to remember
Whose birthday is in November?

hard to turn
hard to take trips
hard to drive
hard to keep up with friends
hard to you-know-what in bed
hard to save money
hard to spend
hard to know
when is the end?

but so easy
to love you
without ever having
seen your face
my new
beautiful
best friend

All Good Things

All good things come to those who wait...
and I waited.... I waited so long for you
and then, your spirit called to me
saying, It is time... and I called back,
I am ready
