Birth Blessing

May you know in your deepest parts
Your sacred parts
The parts that no others can assail
That no matter how your birth unfolds
No matter what happens, or doesn’t happen
No matter what you did, or didn’t do
Whether your birth was what you expected or nothing like you expected,
Whether you had to scream, cry, moan, despair, accept medical support, “lose control”, or more
That you are worthy
That your birth is worthy
That you – parent, mother, father, beloved – are worthy
