I had the joy when I was younger
Of seeing my three daughters born
It made me go weak at the knees
It was the most awesome thing that I had ever seen
The miracle of birth
Is a precious event
And watching and helping them grow
Was the best experience I’ve ever had
The most fun times
And exasperating yes.
Then some years later
In a new life and love
I was expecting another daughter
And that was magical too
But in the hours during labour
She lost her fight
And without warning
Out went her light
It tore us apart
And broke our hearts
And every time I shut my eyes
I am back in the room
And I am holding her in my arms
So precious and beautiful
Only lacking one thing
That thing called breath.
After a time
We tried again
And now I have a son
And he is amazing in everyway
He makes me laugh
And drives me around the bend
But I know he’s another miracle in the end
And each day is different and challenging
But I would never give up on him
For anything.
