A Child is Conceived

When it is wondered about

When it is dreamt of

When it is wanted

When it is loved

Let all

be born in love

Let all know a life

of intention

Of hand held to belly

with warmth in palm

Of calm happiness

pressed upon forehead

like a blessing

Yes

I am ready

think the ones

who will hold this tiny heart

Yes

I can show you

say all who would treasure this mind

Children are not created by force

They become themselves

regardless of who raises them

Let all

come into a home

when it is made for them

and not a moment before
