She Needs More Time
Seven doves stopped the angel in her flight
Where are you heading?
Des Moines
Her mommy is not ready yet
She needs more time
The angel understood
She had seen this before
When a perfectly beautiful baby was born
Not moving, not whimpering, not crying
The mommy often needed a bit more time
I can slow down my flight, she told them
When is a good time?
Can you give her two hours?
She nodded
She did not have to retrieve the soul immediately
It usually hung around the mother for a few days.
