To turn inward.
To soften instead of brace.
Not strength the world recognizes,
but trust the body remembers.
Familiar walls witnessing ancient work.
There is a pause.
holy and unhurried.
A moment where she wonders if she can stay open.
The place between who she was
and who she’s becoming.
A breath held in a room that has loved her a long time.
Life moves through her
because she allows it.
Because her body knows the way out.
Because she listens.
She follows the rhythm
written into her bones.
A father steps forward,
hands ready,
heart undone.
Catching the weight of a miracle
he will spend his life protecting
and I know he will.
The first breath breaks the room open.
The sound echoes off walls
that will hear lullabies and prayers
and ordinary mornings.
She did this.
With trust.
With patience.
With a body that knew exactly what to do.
She did not conquer this.
She trusted it.
She let her body lead her home.
And now she holds the proof ;
warm,
damp,
impossibly real.
A life shaped by patience and faith.
