JOY FROM PAIN

There we sat

Our hearts racing at the speed of light

Then came the doctors in a file

Only this time not wearing white

Though the wait was short

But given the time, it didn’t seem quite

 

There was an incision

Then came the shrill cry

There laid the exhausted mother

Then there was a lovely child

Right there awesome God showed his might

 

It has been prayers, long wait and hope

It all just grew wings and now it is a-fly
