My Baby and Her Son







The phone rang.

It rang again.

"Hello", I said

to an unfamiliar voice.



A serious voice.

A physicians voice...

summoning me away from home.

My baby is about to soar

to a new destination.



Twenty nine weeks pregnant

infected with full-blown

      chicken pox.

This worrisome state has me

knocking on God's door for

      guidance.



Upon arrival to the Hospital

I witnessed my baby with baby

still in her womb on life support.

It was two days passed...

baby out of womb now.



So tiny, almost miniscule

       to my eyes.

He's on life support.

Touch and go down a rough road

       for them both.

They are in God's hands now.



It was weeks...

God had mercy and both

        went home...

to continue a beautiful journey

along the pathway of life.

        Thank you God.

How beautiful! I was holding my breath to the end waiting to see where the baby with her baby ended up. Thank God that both came home healthy and whole and I thank God that you came through without falling apart as I know I would have in the same situation.
