"Miracle Child" - A poem dedicated to my unborn

silhouette_pregnant_lady
Oh what thrill, oh what joy!
The love of a mother's heart knows no bounds,
I know not yet girl or boy.

From that moment I whispered in God's own ear,
"If be thy will, then so be it now, here..."
This mother's heart your creation aware,
Dreamed day and night your miracle to bare.

When the time was right and hope turned to doubt,
I stared at the stick; two bars to turn out,
Skipped a beat, a tear in my eye
Called Daddy dear who wasn't nearby.

That blessed moment forever we'll cherish
When gifted we felt, a joy none can perish.
For a gift you are; a gift of God's love,
A sign of a miracle from Jesus above!

The wait now begins; forty weeks with you in,
Your face for a glimpse is all I dream and imagine.
Three months though in agony, all trials I'll overcome,
An addition to us, Dad and I look to welcome.

Now the moment is near, our voices you hear,
Every loved one awaits to hold you, my dear!
But take your sweet time, a lifetime we have,
To love and adore you, to rejoice and be glad.
