Baby Series #2

This poem was written a few days before our lituman decided to show up very early. I had experienced his little kicks and movements and surely couldn't wait to see his face and have him in my arms.   

What a miracle you are that came to our life,

 A bundle of joy to relieve worries and strife 

A breathe of heaven's blessing knocking on the door, 

A whole new meaning of love to explore…
What a miracle you are,

oh tiny heartbeats that sleep, 

For even in the womb,

our hearts you've learned to keep 

And the breeze of bond that sways

 with your promises of joy 

Of caring for a little angel and a lifetime to enjoy… 

What a miracle you are,

 though you are not yet here, 

The light that you shine,

wipes our every fear 

The bliss that comes with you

fills our mind day by day, 

With glorious wonders of thoughts of endless time to play…

 Indeed you are a miracle,

a spark of God's endearing love

 An answer to a prayer that long we’ve sent above 

And as we wait to see your face,

we dream of  a better future, 

For it is you, our by God's grace, 

who are our greatest adventure.

My greatest adventure has been and is being a mother to our lituman, a piece of my heart. Everyday with him is different, he has brought so much joy in our lives and i have grown up a whole lot.In July 2013 i discovered i was going to be a mother, my first feeling was fear then joy but mostly fear of the unknown- i mean who wouldn't be at that time. What I decided is that I want to make strides in this journey and stay strong as i  do this journey.

My refuge was in God and My Beau was a strong pillar- i daily thank God for this man. The journey was crazy: from telling my parents, my siblings, my friends and the church- well i had to deal with the circumstances but i took it in well.I love my baby boy to the moon and back and i wouldn't have it any other way. 

With Love,
