My Midwife (poem)

**Angel** on Sun Sep 13, 2009 9:47 pm

The first hands to touch me to break my first fall
The first hands to lovingly guide me forwards
Before any other,to touch my soft skin
The first helping hand brought me out from within

A hand never forceful,but there if I need it
Such delicate patience and love to preceed me
Lovingly keeping watch,as I first bloom
Calm,steady presence holds firm in the room

Keeping my mother,smoothing her through
Angelic and graceful,that's just all you
Discreet yet so present whatever may be
Troubles or calm,I know you've got me

This time like no other,we're given to you
In love,complete trust I know we'll get through
For you are the light,the grace we can see
The strong,able presence in our hour of need

All my trust you have forever and more
All my love you'll have far beyond
We are connected as only can be
A saviour,an angel my midwife and me

That's so beautiful sweetie. I loved it! Would you mind if I copy/paste and send it to my friend who is a midwife?? I know she'd love it.

Wow, that's a great poem, Angel. Very well written and soooo true. My midwife was WONDERFUL and so much like you described her in the poem. She facilitated it that I could give birth exactly the way I envisioned it in a hospital where everybody follows the rules (epidural, strapped to the bed, plenty of medial interventions, etc.). With her I got to labor walking around, intermittent heart beat monitor, used no medication - she was sooo wonderful. I wish I remembered her name! Thanks so much for writing this, it brought back a lot of fond memories.

I would be lovely to belive that all midwives are like this but not the one who told me she was too busy to help me after my c-section as she was with women who had laboured. The whole experience for me was just heartbreaking!

Sorry, that probably sounds well, a bit bitter but I truly am happy for people when it goes well. Just wish that could have been us!
