To know that within life there is life To feel that flutter or stir To know that the seed is a being it is a him or a her To see the wondrous growing as weeks into months slip by To picture the flower you've been sowing the approaching hour is nigh To feel the first pain to your body whether its day or at night To know the time for this miracle is now within your sight To feel the baby emerge now to get its first glimpse of the dawn To hear the first gulp at the ether as though to give out a yawn To hear the first sounds like music it is the babies yell To the Mother who's heart is bursting it tells her all is well To have eyes that are filled with tears this wonder to behold To feel its warm and pink like flesh no words have yet been told To realize this gift we've been given with fullness and no lack To have it To love it To hold it fast To embrace it To release it To Give It Back

This piece was originally composed as a Poem, by my Mother in mid 1970's, I composed the music and played it on acoustic guitar with my daughter ( so the Grand daughter ) speaking the words. so 3 generations in the making !!
