waiting, longing, anticipating
skin stretched taut over growing womb, itching
riding a donkey, walking, at least three days
hilly terrain, rocks, desert sand, dusty trails well-worn by others
approaching the City of David from Nazareth
singing, aching, breathing, contracting
stopping, stretching, resting
swelling, contracting, breathing, pushing
He comes in the night
stench of animals, voices of shepherds, songs of angels
the Gift
nursing, swaddling, cuddling
God with flesh
pondering, rejoicing, praising
small babe sent to save the world
for now crying, suckling, sleeping
waiting, longing, anticipating
labor pains, signs, rumors
twinkling, a thief, rapture
in the clouds
witnesses, Antithesis, remnant
alert, sober, searching, preparing
His return
sons of light, of the day
faith, love, hope
set all things right, Faithful, True
establishing, justice, wrath
saved, redeemed, alive
praising, worshiping, eternity
King of Kings, Prince of Peace

I like your poem. How well you must be able to relate at this time.
It is wonderful that the timing of your pregnancy allows you to feel fellowship with Mary in this way.
God bless you and your family. May your delivery be a wonderful blessing.
