I saw you last from across the room

I was supposed to see you first

But I saw you last from across the room

I had felt you before the rest

But I saw you last from across the room

Our introductions started months before

But I saw you last from across the room

Your foot took my breath away

But I saw you last from across the room

Your hand touched my insides

But I saw you last from across the room

I was supposed to hear you first

But I heard you last from across the room

I was supposed to dress you

But I saw you last from across the room

I loved you the most

Even though I saw you last from across the room

Finally I held you

As they brought you close from across the room

Finally I saw you close

Never again from across the room

My encounter with emergency childbirth

To Shelby

Love

Mummy
