I read this a long time ago and forgot about it until now. I couldn’t really find a good source for it but have seen it around the interwebs from time to time. I think it’s a lovely poem to say in labor and once baby is born! This is to all my mama friends currently awaiting the arrival of their little ones…

We’ve all been waiting for you.

For you.
Your arrival has been marked, has been recorded
on earth,
in the universe,
in the galaxies,
in all of space,
in all of time.

You come with a birthright, written in love and sung
through all creation in words which promise
that no matter where you’re at,
you’re home
that no matter who you’re with,
you’re welcome
that no matter who you are,
you’re loved.

Welcome.
