A little prayer for those of us still waiting for our babies

[ice_chick]

Someone sent this to me, author unknown & I just wanted to share.

These Last Few Hours

It is important to me that I spend a part of the next few hours here alone with you in the darkness.

You and I will never be this close again.

Soon you will be a tiny person all on your own.

No longer the kicking, demanding bulge in my body that I have grown to love so much.

I pray that you will be safely guided on your journey to my arms

and I ask for the strength, courage and the power of birthing, to open my body and mind for you

And ever so gently us as one will become two.

That is beautiful, ice_chick. Thanks so much for sharing that with us.

I've always loved this poem, but someone has changed mine or yours (probably some prefer no daddy or prayer reference, but I don't think of prayer=religious, just wishes/blessings)... here is mine:



It is important to me
that I spend part of the next few hours
here alone with you in the darkness.

You and I will never be this close again.

By morning you will be
a tiny person all your own.

No longer the kicking, demanding bulge in my body
that I have grown to love so well.

I pray you will be safely guided
on your journey tonight.
And I ask for the strength
to help you all I can.

Again, you signal your impatience to be free.
Time to wake Daddy.
