Last Year

Last year right now
I hadn’t yet met Caleb,
But I knew the time was near.
Phil and the boys were sleeping,
And I was listening to “Oceans”
And breathing through contractions.

Soon I would call the midwife,
And we would head to our friends’ home.

But for now, I was just by myself,
With a little one connected
For yet a little while,
Worshipping alone,
Not alone.
