Miracle Baby

Doctor's said, "Maybe you should abort the baby.
Because of your medicines, something may go wrong."
I said, God knows what I can handle, no maybe.
I have been wanting a child for so long.

I wanted a chance to be a mommy, too.
Inside was a little boy growing,
and they made sure to keep an eye on us two.
I was excited, my face was glowing.

Before the ultra sound test was through,
my heart was beating fast and hard, too.
I was nervous, but before me was a healthy boy,
watching him brought nothing but tears of joy

Finally the day came, when God gave us our baby
I had almost died in the ER, doctor overdosed me
A mistake that shouldn't have happened you see.

He is now twenty-three and healthy,
a miracle baby God had given me.
Glad I didn't listen to their advice,
because his mom, I wouldn't be.

I have only read the first five placements so far. I am delighted and amazed that all 4 women wrote about their newborn(s), 3 of them were newborn, boy babies. Reading them, I have no doubt that God was with each of us and that they are each very loved. Beautiful poem, full of emotion and love ... CayCay
