No, I Can't Feel You Yet



No I can't feel you yet.
Your movements are much too subtle.
But I've heard your heart beat
I've seen a glimpse of your face
I knew you existed
Before I manifested the thought of you.

No I can't feel you yet.
Though your presence is so very real.
We've been connected before.
Through time and space,
Lives forgotten
Now we meet again.

No I can't feel you yet.
Except in my soul.
At a place unexplored
That I needed you to show me.
My brave little light bearer.
Tucked in a cave.

No I can't feel you yet.
Except when I smile
Or watch a candle flicker.
And I sense you see the ducks too
As they fly across the blue sky in a V
Reminding us-- winter is coming soon.

"Little light bearer" indeed. My son has been my greatest teacher... from belly to birth to now at 3 years old.

Connie, It's time I came out of lurkdom to let you know how much I have learned from you, how much I enjoy your blog and instructional videos, how much I gained from the first 21 Secrets and how I am looking forward to this April's offering.

I wish you the very best.

Connie, your poem has me teary-eyed. So beautiful. That first flutter is something you'll never forget. I can still remember that thrill nearly 30 yrs ago.

This is so beautiful, I may print it out and hang it on my wall when I'm preggers in the future.
