Miracle Birth.

Sometimes
it feels like hard labor,
forgiveness.

But.
Breathe deeply
through each contraction
and press on.

Miracles are born
of your efforts.
Miracles!

They take their first breath in your arms
and are soon wriggling to be released.

They come dancing,
No!
Waltzing!

With everyone
and every thing
and every situation
without hesitation.
And with uncontrollable
Wild belly-laughter.

My dear,
they are worth the effort.

Miracles are born.
Miracles!

Each time
you forgive.
