scared

I'm scared.

I'm at a precipice.

A child is to be born.

Very soon.

G-d willing everything will go well.

Can I be a mother?

Am I ready?

What will life be like on the other side?

Can I handle it?

I am frightened.

I am overwhelmed.

A little baby, a little miracle, will (G-d willing) be soon placed in my hands.

I don't yet know what will be.

It's what we've wanted. It's what my heart has been crying for, for so long.

And now that it's almost here, I'm scared to open the door.

G-d give me strength.
