Before I opened my eyes,
wrapped up in your arms
and in your heart
the strength of both holding me...
In that moment, that breath
I knew it was OK.
Not "will be OK",
but IS.

As the world crept in,
as I returned, so did the voices -
of fear, of doubt, of pain...
And yet, I keep that moment
clearly in my mind.
Fleeting though it was,
it was...
and is possible
to know it is OK.
Not "will be OK",
but IS.
