Miracle of Life

Midnight is upon the moon
Driving feeling crazy as a loon
Tired and excited to see your face
Love overflowing, scared, wanting time to race

I see your face
Nervousness and worry
Trying to ease you, and me
Wondering what the night will be

Waiting for a new face to see
Will it be, easy
Miracle number one: natural wouldn't progress
Miracle number two: Meconium stained amniotic fluid

Miracle number three: Umbilical cord was wrapped around the babies neck, shoulders and 
waste
Miracle number four: Healthy mom and baby
