Where were you on May 6, At 7:25? Did your heart skip a beat? Was there a stirring sensation? Did something new come alive? What were you doing on May 6, As the sun began to set? Were you alone, contemplative Or laughing with a friend Any clue of a heartbeat you had never met? How were you feeling on May 6, Another spring day gone by? Insignificant, Just another 24 hours Or did you somehow sense the hugeness Of a faraway newborn's cry? Did you sense life on May 6, As the tears turned to joy? Slowly being birthed, a gift from God, Transforming an accident: a mistake Into your precious baby boy. |

Amazing how someone who did not exist in our world can change it forever. No one does that as much as a child! Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |
