please help with poems/songs for birth blessing

[vocalise]

I'm hosting a birth blessing for a neighbor, and would love suggestions of poems or songs to read/play during the event.

TIA!

Fear not, the time is coming
Fear not, your bones are strong
Fear not, help is nearby
Fear not, Gula is near
Fear not, the baby is at the door
Fear not, he will live to bring you honor
Fear not, the hands of the midwife are clever
Fear not, the earth is beneath you
Fear not, we have water and salt
Fear not, little mother
Fear not, mother of us all

from the book The Red Tent anita Diamont

Thank you! And that book is on my "must read" list right now...

Anyone else?

I am a Bold Woman
I am such a Brave Bold Woman
Walking right into the Dragon's Mouth alone.
I am a Brave Woman
I am such a Brave Bold Woman
Seeking love and beauty I go on my own, I go on my own.
Seeking love and beauty, on my quest I go.
No matter what may happen, I know I will grow, yes I will grow.

It's actually a chant, but I don't know where to send you for a recording of it.
