Big brown eyes with specs of gold, innocently penetrate your time with questions that may be insignificant... The miracle is... A chance to answer
High-Pitched cries may pierce your ears as you wince and tighten from the pain on their tiny hearts... The miracle is... A chance to hear them
Miniature elbows you can wrap a whole hand around may need mending from harmless clumsiness... The miracle is... A chance to bandage them
Soft flawless face, wet with tears may need gentle wiping and cradling... the miracle is... A chance to touch them
An unsure hand squeezing your finger may whisper responsibility... The miracle is... A chance to guide them
Complex and precious. Once you've shined your gem, never forget its value...Priceless

No Longer
With eyes cleared, I see the now, I see the past, I see the heartache and pain. Not just my pain, our pain... With love in our hearts forever, our paths have come to an end. I also see the present and oh' it's such a gift. The future is uncertain but I am not afraid. The dust has settled and the skies cleared, clouds parted. My path enlightened. Happiness envelopes me like the rays of the sun on a hot summer afternoon. Not afraid of what others think, you spread your arms and breathe in the warmth caressing your entire mind, body and soul. Lifting yourself up from the darkness that you've ran away from for so long. no longer able to catch you. No longer needing to run. I stand in the here and now. Ready for what's to come.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
