@lgoodbu Lesley, this was already powerful, and the mirroring adds another dimension. It reminds me how cyclical a journey can feel, & also how the journey can bring a new perspective on emotions we return to. Such a courageous and beautifully-worded reflection. x

Happy Day of the Midwife! As a premature baby I'm here because of the specialist care I received on day one of my life.
It was a delight to create this poem, woven from verbatim threads in convo with Deirdre Fowler, Chief Nurse & Midwife at @uhbwNHS
Thank you @bwhospcharity x
