She has labored
under many a sky
in many a land
exquisitely excavating
with a trowel and brush
and journal in her hand
She has labored
for many an hour
at a computer screen
fish bones close by
with data, images, theories
filling her brain
She has labored
through these many months
to care for her body
and her growing babe
to build a nest
to start a family
Now let her labor
with ease and with grace
to bring this child in
to light, to love, to family
to the world that awaits.
