Miracles Happen

Unfruitful woman,
Grieving and barren
Lament not life’s fortune.
Heaven shall reckon.
Plump as a melon.
Life wrought its leaven.
Childbirth. My haven.

Mourning Mist, your comments must be refering to another of my poems, "Temerity". That poem was a poetic exercise in the use of a word that was new to me...temerity. Point taken...anytime one makes a generalization about anyone or anything, we can often include the innocent in our judgments. That is probably why the Bible teaches "...judge not lest ye be judged..." I appreciate your comment. I am not familiar with the verse you are refering to, however. Have a nice day. Lovingly, Dane Ann

good for you, sigh...i have had dreams of being pregnant again, but my only pregnancy was brutal, I had to have a c section because she was premature, problems, and I have IVC, and my cervix is missing a part of it...but I have had dreams and personal longings of another...

Sweetie, I'm so glad God worked this miracle for you. Thanks for chatting with me tonight. I hope your children do something special for you this Mothers' Day! Love, Carolyn
