The Midwife

I am with you
I wait while your body finds its own rhythm,
Some come fast and furious,
Some come gradually, building to a crescendo
​....

Some seem to dawdle
Some Stop and Start,
Some are quiet, still,
Some dance, sing,
Some crawl and roar.
I am with you
Yes, yes this is it,
This is what happens
Follow your heart
Here you are with those who love you best
You are doing it,
You are strong
It is your time
I am with you.
