I feel the radiating heat as her body works hard He feels her real strength for the very first time I hear her birth song as she opens He hears my voice, reassurance that she is okay I smell the sweet scent of waters as her baby gets close He smells the calming scent of lavender floating through her space I taste the strong coffee that allows me to stay awake.... ...for as long as she needs me He tastes the tears running down her face as she releases I know she can do it He knows she can do it I see a woman as she transforms into a mother He sees his woman as she transforms him into a father - by Michelle McClafferty CD(DONA) |
