Mother is a Verb You’re pregnant? No wonder you’ve been mooning all over the place, spending endless hours in your room. It’s a fact then, you’re pregnant? It’s a mystery to me how it happened, what with all the rules we’ve bound you in. You made the choice you say, you made it freely? Well, that’s a blessing. God knows what will become of it and you. But if what you say is true, Then I’ll stand by ~ And more than that, I’ll see you through.
Never fear. I’ll labor with you, pushing, bearing down. Of course there’s pain but not so bad when shared. This time of preparation, this blessed space for giving birth will all too quickly be a dream. Take care.
