She drifts away,
and her mind acts as an easel.
She bleeds black; bleeds white.
She paints a mirror

she paints a life.

Looking in the mirror
She says:
"Hello baby, I'm your mommy."
with her hands over her belly.

He walks up behind her,

and wraps hims arms around her.

He says:
"Hello baby, I'm your daddy."

Movement is felt.
The wonderous heartbeat is heard.

The mark of God has been made.

"All because we prayed.."
Tears of joy fall to the floor.

"I couldn't ask for more.."

I imagine your beautiful face....
...Your essence filled with grace...

I imagine your tiny toes..
...And how you will one day grow...

I want to hold you in my arms.
And I want to hold you in mine.

She looks at him

"Darling, can't you see?
With God we have untiy."

"I do."

She comes back to reality,

and looks at the creation made.
Says: "If only"..
And drifts away

just like every other day..
