May I be...
May I be a midwife who stops and looks and listens
May I be patient
May I be confident enough to say “I don't know” and “please help”
May I be the one to help others
May I be aware enough to give a much needed hug
May I be thirsty for knowledge
May I be a mentor who teaches and nurtures
May I be a midwife who asks for permission and gains consent
May I be strong enough to get back up, time and again
May I be content, some of the time
May I be proud of who I am and where I have come from
May I be part of the change
May I be grateful enough to say thank you
May I be able to recognise the genuine friends and the imposters
May I be resourceful, motivational, insightful, mindful
May I be bowled over by birth, every single time
May I be dignified in both victory and defeat
May I be awestruck by women's courage and power
May I be sure that I have done my best and tried my hardest
May I be generous with my time and my love
May I be a woman who supports other women
May I be the advocate
May I be the trail blazer
May I be a midwife who remembers how important that moment is
May I be kind, always
