The Ninth Month

Carol Lynn Pearson

Being a duplex,

I have been happy, my dear,

to loan you half the house,

rent free and furnished

as best I could.

You have been a good tenant,

all in all,

Quiet, yet comfortably there,

tapping friendly on the wall.

But I hear

you have outgrown the place

and are packing up to move.

Well, I will miss

the sweet proximity.

But we will keep in touch.

There are bonds, my dear,

that reach beyond a block,

or a mile, or a hemisphere,

born of much love and labor.

I approve the move,

and gladly turn from landlady

to neighbor.

Poem from a client of my dads to give to me.

p.s. last visit, still a 2 and 75% effaced, but the baby has dropped a "little"....GURR!!

I am SO ready for this baby to come!!!!!
