Life, Breath-takingly Wonderful
Life, breath-takingly wonderful
I want to shout as I heave my insides out
Yet I feel so great
Emotional roller-coaster extremes
Ugly fat bloated feeling, one moment to the next
Beautiful, woman complete with each wiggle and kick
Hurt back, headaches and swollen feet
Nothing can shake the monumental significance
In my life you make
Ancient time old comforting ritual
Nurturing new life, yet you are uniquely different
But still the same
Engorged, leaky breast announce your presence
As much as the movement inside me
This single cell phase soon will divide
As I multiply in the body of the human race
Author’s Note: Birthing and pregnancy through old as mankind, still fascinates and humbles me. written to honor the experience women share while perpetuating humanity. Remember... God didn’t need a man to create Jesus, though He did need a woman named Mary. Cudos to all our women on the planet.

Many Vets lose their way/purpose in life. Your new mission in life, the most important you will ever have, is to become a better father, husband, son and neighbor. It doesn't make you weak to become a better human being. You don't have to be one of the military statistics who either commit suicide or end up in prison.
