For You, Midwife
What was there in your gaze,
that she smiled when you looked at her?
Her smile reached me.
And you knew it…
What was there in your voice?
What was there in your words,
that filled her with peace?
and, that peace reached me.
And you knew it…
What was there in your hands?
That filled her with tenderness.
This tenderness was reaching me.
And you knew it…
What was there in your presence?
that illuminated her face.
And, you were illuminating me.
And you knew it…
I wanted to thank you…
But, I couldn’t!
That’s why… now that I can,
I thank you, thank you very much!
I’ll never forget you!
