Emergence
In the comfort and darkness
I hear the beating of your heart,
I feel the love you possess
the excitement and need for my life to start.
I feel safe here, in my own world,
in the solace of velvet
and the warmth of you
but soon it will be my time to bloom,
and I will see you very soon.
How can I not wait to greet you?
For you have nourished me
protected me,
in my distant place
you consoled and soothed me.
And now, my tiny soul must emerge.
I am precious.
I am new.
I am Unique and true,
innocent and pure
like a Pearl
washed upon the salty shore.
The tide is flowing, ever pushing,
bringing me closer in waves of emotion
from my secure and distant ocean.
I hear your cries!
Do not cry.
For I am coming.
New life will be born today,
and I can see the way,
to be ever closer to you.
I am here.
In your arms,
Feeling your gracious touch
the whisper of your gentle voice,
a flutter of a hearts rejoice.
Oh, you love me so much,
You hold me carefully,
Joyfully.
For I am precious.
I am new,
I am Unique and true.
And I am your Pearl,
created, in an Ocean of Love.

They need to release me I’ve reached my prime,
I’m kicking
From the cradle of innocent birth
Comes the embracing touch of immaculate worth
Amidst sweeping streams of watery weariness
by Jon Coe
Like an unborn child, ready to be born
Thoughts become words, night into dawn
Trees budding leaves, petals turn to flowers
by Carol Natoli
Giving birth is the greatest gift
a woman can give her husband
as she chooses him to be
the father of her child and
