POEM PRAYER
Drink
J.B. Rowell
Your air is fluid—
grows you into being.
Push off the wall—
it finds you—pushes
back from behind.
Turn around—
shake your fists
at the dark–
beyond thin lids.
There is nothing to fight.
I'm with you—holding
a ladle to your lips.
Drink deep—water
fermented by moon
reflections.
You won't need
me anymore—gorge
on life—it's here.

He'll never stop needing you. Just different air, different food. Love the poem!!

Looking at the ultrasound 3-D photo up close again, I realize my son has biceps - he is a fighter! :)

Hi Luke - congrats on becoming a dad! Are you going to find out before he/she is born? We were suprised with the first, which was fun, but a long wait . . .
