Love from Above, a poem


 

A surprise gift,

a calling from the Divine, comes in the form of two little blue lines.
A message that I must raise, nurture and guide not only one, but two young lives.
Like a Summer thunderstorm without warning, waves of emotion roll over me.
The doubts rain down and the light disappears. “I’m scared. I’m not ready. I need more time to prepare. I need more time to save. I need more time to become mentally, spiritually and physically brave.”
Although, I know deep in my soul that my worries will fade with a little self trust and a whole lot of faith.
I can bring the Light back I’ve done it before. I can do it again. To believe in my power is how I will begin.
I look back at the little blue lines, one standing beside the other and smile thinking of River becoming a big brother. The fears begin to settle along with the restless butterflies. Just in time for the quarter moon to rise.
Before I fall asleep and dream of our family of four, I give thanks to the Love from above for giving us new Life once more.
