Labor Day Song
A mother's song of preparation and confidence for labor
Today I am beginning a journey, Though it won't be easy, And so my heart runs in circles, I am strong today, I am ready, What is most important, Oh my child so safe within, Inside me you've grown
of strength and joy and life.
I am a mother beggining her labor,
and to the end I will press on with pride.
I believe I'll make it through.
Today will be your first day of life,
and my first day as mommy too.
I'm so close but so far away.
If I start to get weary,
come close to me and say-
"I know that you can make it!
And I believe in you"
I've prepared and the time is right.
And when I doubt,
please tell me with love,
"Everything is Alright"
is I know I'm not alone.
Many have gone before me,
and walked this journey strong,
climbing up the steepened slope
to a summit of glory,
singing their labor song.
today we shall begin,
I have held you in my heart so long,
now today you'll be in my arms.
with beauty unknown,
and soon we shall behold,
the creation of love,
the work of art,
a child of my very own
