Softly Signaling Life
The little one bumps
In Morse code
Throughout the night
My hand rests gently
Listening intently to her
Trying to decipher babblings
From within the womb
Softly—through her mother’s skin

Oh, I remember that. There is nothing like the feel of the first movement within the womb. Congratulations!
