The Weight

The weight of my words and your
emotions heavy.

Your baby needs my help
I promise to keep you safe
Thank you for trusting me 
When the loud noises start 
and the people rush in
It’s time to meet your babe

Time out. Cut. Pull.
Pressure. Silence. Gush. 

Tears. 

“She’s perfect.”

The weight of your words and my
emotions heavy.
