Poetry
Birthing Your Dream…You’re Just a Push Away
By Kita Stewart-Thompson
A time of expectancy and waiting
Conceived with thoughts of belief
A seed sown and planted within
An embryo breeding with life that is limitless
You’re just a push away
Captivated with the breath of possibilities
Opportunities lie endless
Embarking on a new journey
Embracing the process
Fearless and Hopeful
You’re just a push away
Enduring through sick days
Suffering through long nights
Inundated with constant emotional fights
You’re just a push away
Overwhelmed by mental strain
Body, mind, soul all wrecked with continual pain
Feeling strange
Mama never said there would be days like this
You’re just a push away
Closure to conception
Things begin to make sense
You begin to understand that your life is not your own
The very thing that gives you pain is the very thing that will
keeps you strong
You’re just a push away
Everything you’ve bore thus far
Wasn’t all in vain
It is just the beginning and all worth the pain
You’re just a push away
You will see many come
You will see many go
It is necessary preparation for your baby to grow
You also need the test and trials to help day by day
It’s essential for your baby also
You’re just a push away
Now you’re in the delivery room
No epidural for pain
You realize she is destined to be
You’re just a push a way
Keep pushing until you see your baby
It nothing like the first cry
Hold your baby In your arms
Don’t let your PURPOSE pass you by
Woman of destiny, your purpose is very near
You’re just a push away
Don’t abort your baby in fear
You are destined for greatness
This is the time to believe
Put your trust in Him Alone, it’s time for you to conceive
You’re just a push away
Live on Purpose
