The Birth Partner, Sixth Revised Edition by Penny Simkin

This collection of poetry explores the depths of human emotions. Although the poems are derived from personal experiences, thoughts and feelings, the intent is to connect the reader to a time in their life when they may have felt the same way, regardless of the exact circumstances. Please know that you are not alone.
