Life Unexpected

I sat quietly weeping 
My womb forever sleeping
No baby ever to grow there in.
Doctor says that I am barren.

Years go by I try to cope.
Lovers leave there is no hope.
Strange these flutters in my belly.
Sick so sick, everything is so smelly.

Flutters turn to kicks and wiggles.
Labor pains, and I have the giggles.
Husband standing by my side.
Now four children are my pride.

Congratulations Christi, on your win in the "Believe in Miracles" contest Sponsored by: Carolyn Devonshire. But better yet, is the miracle of your children's births. (I'm sorry to be so late at this, but congratulations are still in order.) Smiling and apologetic for my lateness, Dane Ann

Christi, this poem touched me deeply as I was never able to have children of my own. It also reminded me of a friend who had been told she could not become pregnant and now has given birth to three children, all beautiful boys! This is a true miracle! Congratulations on your success in my contest. Love, Carolyn
