Happy Birthing

By Dee Mahuvawalla CS

Birthing is a rhythmic unfolding

A time of gentle appearing

When anthems of prayer

Open the way.

Birthing is a time of reflection

Of Soul’s comfort and safety

A clear transparency

Of God’s creating.

Birthing is a labor of love

A relaxed and restful activity

Of trustful integrity

Blessing mother, baby and family

Birthing is painless action

Divine Mind’s momentum

A fruitful harvest

Of joyous expectation.

Birthing is a glorious celebration

A new birth –

“Opening the petals

Of a holy purpose.” [Science & Health 506:18]
