A Poem: "These Last Few Hours" (grab a tissue)

yarnymommy

I'm sitting awake in our nursery... we're leaving for the hospital in an hour or so for our c-section scheduled at 9:00 AM this morning.  My mom sent me this poem the other day... so sweet.  I thought I'd share.

These Last Few Hours

It is important to me

that I spend a part of the next few hours

alone with you in the darkness.

You and I will never be this close again.

By morning,

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 well.

I pray that God will safely guide you

on your journey tonight,

and I ask Him for the strength

to help you all I can.

Again you signal

your impatience to be free.

Time to wake Daddy

Totally made me cry. Fitting seeing as I'm at the hospital in labor. Water broke about 6 hours ago.

  This is a great poem.  I think I'll be saving it in my "Pregnancy" folder.  Thanks for sharing and I hope your C-section goes well!
