Welcome to the world, Owen


welcome to the world, Owen,
you rushed out so quickly that you left us
breathless.
now you rest with your little oxygen tube
under many blankets, a little IV delivering 
nutrients and we wait ..
we wait for your lungs to clear out and
for your eyes to open, for you to regain 
energy after such an abrupt and hurried
departure from your mother's body.
we wait, impatiently, with heavy hearts,
but also with optimism and love,
we will wait, little One, until the moment
when we can hand you from one loving 
embrace to another. - 9/23/2021
