To my Juliana Mae written October 2010

my little one inside of me
Sending messages in the darkness
Morse code...like gentle taps
about your life inside
It's dark but warm
and your ears only hear
the echos of life outside
Wake up, little one.
I want to know you're in there,
Happy and safe.
may you be blessed in every way
live a full life of joy and peace
touched by the Savior very early
I feel you as you flutter again like
a song of your own rhythm
creating lyrics of praise
played with your hands and feet.

Someday I will hear your song
your breathing, crying, cooing
I will teach you the song that
has kept my heart singing
and hold your hands the ones
that have already taken hold
of your mother's heart.
and guide your feet to step
in tune with Him who
knitted your being, like a
tapestry of royal design
unique and wonderful
one of a kind.
