Oh Such Joy...: So sweet...

“A Child's Birth”

You learn a lot about living when a child is born...
You learn that pain can overwhelm and overtake and you wonder how your own mother survived. You clench your fists and tear the sheets as life, entering life, tears your flesh. And the moment you hold that tiny miracle, your heart rips open in a way you never knew before. Your flesh will heal in time. You lie bleeding, not your flesh so much as your soul. You know that every minute of every hour of every day you will be consumed with love...

You learn a lot about living when a child is born.
— A poem by Delilah
