Two years ago,
the day after her great grandfather's funeral,
she was born. The text arrived at 4:34 am.
Yes, I had my phone's sound turned on.
can I come?
It is 4 in the morning mom, go to sleep...
a new soul landed in my world,
sleep would wait, I drove two hours
held her in my arms, while mama slept,
not really, she could not sleep either,
as daddy cleaned up the rest of the midwife visit.
Her brother would meet her soon enough, for now
he slept at Oma and Papa's.
When he saw her he raced
across the room held her in his sparkling eyes
love shone.
