Push – breathe – now push

oh how agonizing is the pain to bring fourth a life…

the numbing pain was replaced with celebration…

my son I couldn’t belive it when you first looked at me…

that was then…

And today as I sit next to your crib…

my son, we have come to end one special way of closeness… for both of us this ending is painful, none the less a necessity

my breats are swollon, the pain unbearable, but this too shall pass.

I hope

it hurts to start and it hurts to end…
