The Ninth Month

Being a duplex
I have been happy, my dear,
T 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 heard
You have outgrown the place
And are packing up to move.
Well, I will miss T
he 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.

-Carol Lynn Pearson





My mom is flying in this afternoon to help us out for 2 weeks (THANK YOU, THANK YOU!) and we head to the hospital bright & early tomorrow for the arrival of our little baby Milo.

Megan, I love the poem - Carol Lynn Pearson is one of my favorites (hence the name of my blog!) :) Best of luck to you tomorrow - you will be in my thoughts and prayers as you welcome your son into your family.

Good Luck! I have a gift for you. I guess I'll just have to drop it by and leave it at your door step? I wasn't sure when a good time to come by would be... But you have to have it now that you are having your baby or it will go to waste!
