A Blessed Bud
It was a whole new phase. She was glowing from within. It had been a long, long time. Her husband would be happy, very happy, though he may not understand it fully. She would tell him today.
a bud has been formed
fresh fragrance amidst life's thorns
ten year wait over
Eight months now. She couldn't wait to see her mother. She would understand completely, for she had been through the exact exciting experience before. Together, she set out with her husband happily, in their car. He would miss her tomorrow.
both their eyes drop pearls
away from him the first time
the bud will soon bloom
It was all too sudden. Wiping his eyes while talking to his wife, he forgot the road. Car out of control. Brakes applied. Crash. He survived with few scratches. She was serious, unconscious. Rush to hospital.
crying out prayers
save either mother or child
life nipped in the bud
Three tense hours. He can't bear it. Pain rips his heart apart. What would he tell his wife? Oh God..! Would she ever forgive him? Could he ever forgive himself? Ten long years... Oh God, please...!!
God answered prayers
his beloved made it through
their son kisses life
