There was a time,
a
place.
Another baby was on the way.
She was tired,
Too many Babies
Too much confusion
Too much Grief
No relief.
She had wanted to wait
always to wait
to catch her breath.
Catch up with the little ones already at her frayed nerves
and feet.
There was no time
no mercy,
so it seemed.
Where was the helper
the Holy One
her strength
her Grace
her Peace?
She felt alone
in a house full of
bodies...
little noisy
bouncy
bodies!
She tried to do what desperate ones do
to remove the burden
from her body
on her own,
As she cried
all alone,
so
it seemed.
*
She told me the other day :
"Please tell the others,
Mothers to be...
Please keep your Babies
close to your heart.
Don't
give up.
Don't give In...
no matter How alone you feel!
Be merciful to Yourself
to your beautiful little child.
Who will shine
like a Star into your life
and breath
sweet blessings
to your
every
waking
hour."
"You Are Not
Alone!"
&
"God is Good."
