It has been said that….
From pain,
Comes Joy
The rain,
Brings flowers
She thought of this as
The pain came
It was time for
Life to begin
But first this labor
Of LOVE
This is what she wanted,
What she needed.
It had begun with,
Belly tightening
Rising.
Then a short relief.
It went on
And on.
She lost her mind
Lost herself
And then was part of the universe
Her cells blending with,
The old and the new.
The past , the present , the future
Like billions before her.
She felt primal
And almost gave up
BUT then she
Found a strength
She did not know she had.
Then at the pinnacle of her pain,
She heard a scream,
It was her scream.
Then… a baby’s cry
When she saw his face
His eyes were knowing.
Old…. yet new
An ancient recognition
Then…
The pain was gone!
And AFTER…
There was a JOY!
So intense!
Her tears fell on bare skin
A Baptism of tears
She thought….
“Never again will I love this much”
This Joy,
My Joy,
My child,
The only true
A mother’s love for her child
An Unconditional LOVE
