Before Birth
I knew nothing
I grew
Miraculously in a watery pool
I was alive and yet was not born
I was asleep yet did not dream
I was safe
Protected in my warm tomb
I was at the beginning
Of a new life
I did not understand
And after the calm dark world
Suddenly I was thrust
into light and fear.
As the theme for December has been children I thought I would finish with this anonymous verse from an undated and unknown source which I had pasted into my scrapbook sometime in the 1980's.
It made me think, I hope it reaches out to you too.
