Happiness Renewed (For Sheryl and Daniel)

Your baby girl was conceived Thoughts of happiness Precious moments believed Then, within the recesses of your heart creeps sadness Washing away all trace of gladness. Your grief came like rain Violent storm! Ripping, tearing Smashing, devastated, mutilated terrain Good God! Grant them a hearing! Bless their tree, fruits of love bearing. Yes Lord! You heard our cry A baby girl was conceived Thoughts of happiness, second try A bit apprehensive, but now relieved Baby girl is here! They are so happy to receive. Praise God from whom all blessings flow Doctors made plans on how she would arrive God planned before, even on how she would grow Now the home is buzzing like a bee hive Sweet baby girl kicking and so alive. She is so beautiful All brand new Daddy Daniel, you’ll be dutiful Mommy Sheryl, this is your due You’ve gone through so much, that’s so true. Love your little princess Dedicate her to the Lord He works overtime, takes no recess Sweet little baby girl, a gift from God Welcome her home and let it be known abroad!

This poem was done for my friends, who took their first baby up to full term then she died in the womb. They were grief stricken. After a couple of months they concieved again, unplanned, but sometimes we only see the sentence, maybe even the verse or a chapter, but with one look God sees the whole book. On the 11th of September 2010 another sweet little baby girl was born to the happy couple. Now their joy is complete.
