‘The Day Before’ – Linda Imbler

I wonder what my mother did
the day before I was born:
I think she went to the movies,
I think she looked at the sky,
I think she ate her favorite lunch,
and chased it down with some pie.
I think she kissed my father,
I think she fed the birds,
I think she sat and pondered on
the clues in her crosswords.
I think she felt me moving,
I think she felt me kick,
I think she was ready to see me,
and wanted to do it quick.
I think she dreamed her dreams,
I think she hoped her hopes,
I think she was wishing the best for me,
and prayed she’d learn the mommy ropes.
