Images of
Sweet pinkness of cheeks,
Searching mouth, the
Smell of newborn breath,
Bursting forth of joy, the
Overwhelming need to protect,
Prayers for an easy delivery…
A stifled scream,
A final push…
“He is coming, and I am here.”
–– this last line is from The Time Traveler’s Wife, Audrey Niffenegger
