Goodnight little one

Goodnight little baby, kicking and moving.
Getting ready for the big day.
We love you so much already.
We imagine holding you in our arms and giving you kisses.
I wish you a safe night and good sleep,
Store up lots of energy
And feel comforted
And know we are here with you
Through everything.
Don't be afraid, be excited!
A beautiful life is ahead of you,
The big oak tree outside full of stars,
Smokey November air,
Pumpkin bread and the voices of aunties and uncles
Grandparents and friends,
Gathered around you for this coming.
Enjoy these last days in the warm dark,
And then,
Want to be out of it,
Be ready for the next part,
Out in the open
But surrounded by love.
