TRUE ANTICIPATION

Clear and lucid it clings to every wet, glistening pore of your wet skin

It cleanses your train of thought allowing random words and images

To flow into your awaiting mind

First you marvel at your own agility in the smooth, supple liquid,

Next you ponder the feelings of motherhood and changing roles,

Touching base on the ground that your very own mother before you

Walked timidly upon and great women of your family danced as fireflies

On the wings of the night breeze

You have now joined the loving journey that entails bursting with fruit

Flavor moments such as first looks at the face of your pink and petaled,

Rose scented gift of God who will before long, will be running and

Leaping into the arms of the unknown and uncertain life filled with

Questions and answers, trials and love, hugs and laughter and joyous

Occasions that will be surrounded by family and friends who have eagerly

Awaited the arrival of one of the greatest individuals since the beginning of time

The Lord breathed breath into the lungs of your child bringing forth life and

Placing destiny in your very small and unsure hands that feel helpless

In days, months and years to come you will become assured and

Confident even though a small amount of fear still lingers when thinking

Of the task you have been entrusted with before you

Its okay He assures you, “ I’ll guide you; as that is what parents are there for”

And you smile to yourself knowing the greatest is yet to come.
