Birth Day

Early this morning ~ thinking of mom

and this life changing date ~ for mom 


~ and the rest of the family!

She carried me for nine months


in the safety of her womb ~ 

as she had with each of my siblings.


I thought of the back pain, the cramping, 

and all that would be left undone


while this first of the many tasks 

a woman does for each of her children 


cannot wait ~ and so I smile and say ~

Thank you for this birth day so long ago.


“Even though we have a body which can thrive and be used

 for beautiful things, it is the changeless soul which connects.”

~ Donna Goddard, Waldmeer
