Your Birth Something awoke me and stirred me inside Not a pinch or a pain, but a twinkling inside I rose, woke your Dad and said it was time And he rushed to the phone while I said I was fine We drove thru the night since twilight it was And got to the hospital without any fuss They wheeled me upstairs to the maternity ward They said "Walk the halls honey, you're about to give birth!" I paced and I walked and soon there was pain It ripped up my spine and back down again I went to my bed and they strapped monitors on I could hear your heart beating, alive and so strong The pains, they grew longer and sharper with force And then it was time to finally push It took all of my strength and then your were born The doctor was late (you were in such a rush!) And so was your Dad, but they saved best for last "Cut the cord" they said, they shouldn't have asked They wrapped you in cotton and placed you with me So tiny you were, So precious to me A new little girl and sister to two A daughter, grand daughter and cousin were you It took just a moment to change the history of time Forever is graced with your present mind.
