Oh Baby
On the summer of 1996, I came out of the bathroom,
frozen and scared, but deep inside I knew that I was the happiest person in this very room.
I walked to my husband and back-hugged him tightly,
he kissed my arm and asked what was wrong hesitantly.
"Baby, what if I told you that we have to move out from our studio apartment?"
"What?" He at once looked at me, throwing down the piece of parchments in his hand.
I nodded as tears flowed down my eyes,
his face turned into a perplexed surprise.
"A-are you?" He held my shoulders tight,
Our life was illuminated by the bright moonlight.
"Yes, hon...it's the best day of my life!"
He kissed me deeply as if once more I was his bride.
We didn't expect anything, nor did we care,
But God answered our prayer, that was very rare.
