Miracle of Life

Sara J Straws 1981 (indianapolis)

Limerick
It can happen in an instant
Right before your eyes.
all that love and beauty
it can take you by surprise.  
Ten fingers
Ten toes
Everything is so perfect
Your smile your ears your nose.
when the doctor said its a girl.
I knew before I held you
You would change my whole world.
6lbs 7 and a half ounces
brown hair blue eyes
God gave me this special blessing
This miracle of life
