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 FEATURED CONTRIBUTOR Lakita Stewart-Thompson is a servant of the Lord, visionary, mother, daughter, sister, mentor, entrepreneur, community advocate, teacher, and #1best-selling author.
