Beata Agustin Poet Free verse

Cleaving to Divine Killick

"He will progress toward retrogression..."
Mother's heart defied such prognosis
yet it reverberated, haunting soul
thus, faith cleaved to divine pillar 
toward hope fueling functionality  
surmounting spastic bouts
conquering seizures
then beholding miracles.

Now, milestones radiate
as special child drives himself 
midst freedom bliss
maneuvering wheelchair
likewise taking steps with walker's brace 
vanquishing mother's fear
toward triumph of impossibilities
enabled by God*, the divine anchor.

*Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Reason A. Poteet September 7, 2025 at 5:07 AM Nice, Beata. There is no anchor like the one God grants along with salvation. Your heart for children and their families is expressed here with true compassion and understanding. Congratulations on free verse worth reading for spiritual strength.
