Ode to Salle

The Doula
Your smile and
gentle barefoot entrance
our new little world
turned upside down
support and surrender
you modeled the tenets
of motherhood so well
your sweet understanding
and gentle touch
soothed my newborn
and my unsettled breasts
steadied by your
gentle embrace
our fledgling family
just beginning flight
took tentative wing
and thanks to you
and your belief in us
soared to new heights

–Loree McCauley, Summer 1995
