Keep Them, They're Yours

Monday morning at the door of the delivery ward, Sarah's first day as a midwife in Spain. Rosario is at the door as promised, Sarah tries to give back the keys she has carried for two years, and Rosario has brought a notebook like her own. At eleven, a first birth, and one word written down. At night, the second paper goes into the frame with room for two. Hand something on - keep them, they're yours, until you give them to someone else - give advice with a bite - the day they don't shake, worry, write them all down - be welcomed at work - you already know the place, I retired, but nobody threw me out - talk a mother through the last push - yes you can - count what's done and what's left - then you've got five thousand two hundred and eleven to go - and say there's no room left, and all the ones to come.
