Ultrasound of An Unborn Child

We saw the ultrasound of your unborn child Early this morning, still awakening When at the speed of light It raced across the internet finding its way Into our home and hearts. Your mother began to cry and I Was stunned and stupefied At the reality of it all, remembering when You were one time just so small. I wondered about all the unseen and inexplicable forces Conspiring and converging to create this new life Inside you now. I wonder how Time could have raced away so rapidly leaving All those yesterdays turn to dust While you grew up in front of us. Thankfully, as the infinitesimally small Photographic figure in this ultrasound shows, something Of our hopes, dreams and love grows Like fruit of the vine and nectar Of God’s eternal sea of goodness and grace shining Down on our humanity. This evening when the sun sinks low We’ll still be aglow with thoughts of you No longer one but two Hearts beating together In rhyme and rhythm. Your mother and I Could never be happier for you and this new found Miracle we’ve been given.
