Midwife's Psalm

I have a midwife, I shall not want. She makes me lie back on soft cushions, she leads me to walk during labor, she empowers me to birth. She will not rupture my membranes just for times' sake. Yea, though I labor in my own home for hours or even days I will fear no intervention, for she is with me: Her heart and her hands, they support me. She prepares a table beside me in the presence of my family. She anoints my perineum with oil; my water flows. Surely a precious babe will follow me all the days of my life, and I will remember this birth with joy Forever.
