Countdown began last Tuesday night.
Anticipation mounted with each breath.
Then, passed in the silence.
Wednesday, no relief-
Tick tocking reverberated.
Thursday's drive brought reflection:
Suddenly, a text pinged.
Friday: new sight, cooing sounds -
instant love.
Saturday, family eagerly gathers.
Sunday, Father's Day pride shines
as bright as the sunshine.
as bright as the sunshine.
Words cannot express the joy of new life.
(Hermann Hesse)
My weekend was filled with many precious moments, so I'm Celebrating This Week with Ruth Ayres and her community of writers, post-weekend. Thank you to all those who surrounded this birth with their thoughts and prayers.
