that I spend part of the next few hours
here alone with you in the darkness.
You and I will never be this close again.
By morning you will be
a tiny person
all your own.
No longer the kicking, demanding bulge in my body
that I have grown to love
so well.
I pray God will safely guide you
on your
journey tonight.
And I ask Him for the strength
to help you all I can.
Again, you signal your impatience to be free.
Time to wake Daddy.
