Thank you, my sisters, thank you for your love...

                                   You understood birthing - pure and perfect

                                   The way God created it

                                   You knew the secret and you shared it with me

                                   You lifted me up and kept me safe

                                   You held my hand, my head, my heart

                                   When I couldn't myself

                                   You gave me everything

                                   Kept my body and spirit intact

                                   Gave me back what others had taken

                                   You trusted my body to work

                                   When I saw your belief, I believed too

                                   Now I know...

                                   You stayed with me in birth

                                   Trusted, taught, empowered

                                   You stay with my heart forever

                                   Honored by your presence

                                   Blessed by your wisdom

                                   Touched by your love...

                                   Thank you my sisters, thank you forever
