Notes About The Poem

Baby Mine

Baby Mine

I found today that I am not alone. 
The Lord has given me a great gift. 
There is life inside my body. 
I can hear the beats of my baby's heart. 
Mine is lifted. 

At first, there was fear, 
How could this be?
How could this happen... to me? 
For one reason or another, 
this is the wrong time. 
For one reason or another,
this will not be fine. 

There will be more bills to pay. 
There will be more trouble, 
along the way. 
My husband is a good man, 
but even he has fear. 

The world is full of evil, 
and war is all around. 
The seasons have changed, 
in a random distorted direction. 
What can be done? 
What can we do?
Lord... I call out to you.  

King of all...
please set the world back into place. 
I will kneel down and know you... 
will wipe the tears from my face. 
You have found me valuable. 
You have chosen me. 
You have chosen us.
Let peace reign down, 
with no more fuss.  

Our baby will see the future. 
God will have his hand, 
in every action and reaction... 
there will be a time to stand. 
Together my man and I, 
we will hang onto each other, 
and pray as the Lord thy God... 
is beyond... all measure.


Written for a good friend... prayers for their family.

Gershon Wolf March 21, 2022 at 6:25 PM Always a good time for ushering a new life into this world, methinks. Amazing how all forms of life manage to thrive in near-impossible conditions. ~ Resilience and Persistence, gw Ann Foster March 22, 2022 at 8:06 AM You are so right. I believe that babies are hope... tangible and real. A gift from God. Thank you Gershon. You are such a wise man. Excellent poet. Ann
