He is here!


my nephew has arrived!
and I was there!
and it was beautiful!
and the PAIN...
oh the pain!
how I remember that.
but I was able to lend my hand to be squeezed!
and I was able to rub her back!
and I wished for her that it could be me!
I was able for once to step into my dearest's shoes
is this how you felt?
be overcome by the feeling of helplessness
except I've been there and want to say,
"don't pity me!
share in the pain, the joy the beauty
this is what we are made for
this it life!"
