Poem for the day-Birth

With Baby Vaughn, snuggled in bed, just an hour after birth....

no better feeling exists... none.

Lara's Birth

(for Patty, my stepmother)

Sometimes our footsteps lead us

where we never thought we'd go...

Sometimes experiences left behind us

are ones God chooses to show...

As we get older and think

that everything has been seen...

Our Lord allows a miracle to show us

we don't know anything...

Sometimes the deepest agony

can bring the greatest joy...

Sometimes the journey is arduous

that takes us where we need to go...

At times we may wonder

was it really worth the wait?

But love is the greatest outcome

And Love never comes too late...

So sometimes when you may wonder

if all the patience is worthwhile...

There is nothing more rewarding

Than a Newborn Baby's Smile.
