marveling at the gift

To come alongside as your doula
was to redeem time lost.
Many moments during that day
I marveled at the gift of serving you,
washing your feet, so to speak.
I met a beautiful family with a story,
with dreams and talents, and history.
I met a mother who bravely faced a long labor.
I met a father who bravely served our country and his family.
I met a grandmother who loves her baby girl.
Thank you for letting me into your lives that day.
