i keep thinking about this moment
from the day jackson was born:
after some time in the recovery room
where i cried for so long
i thought i had no tears left to fall-
it was finally time to meet you
a couple nurses wheeled the bed around
just in time for me to catch a glimpse
of you coming toward me
as i was settled into the hospital bed
two nurses with big smiles
handed you to me like the gift you were
and i wept
and wept
and whispered prayers of thanks
to our Creator
for this gift
as i wiped my eyes
i caught the nurses quickly dabbing theirs eyes as well
it's still a vivid memory
even five years later
