Even they did sow
A seed of love
They waited and deliberated
But the seed would not germinate
They wept
They prayed
They consulted and tested
But the shoot from the seed
In refusal, stayed within
It seared through her heart
To see other farms lush
Pain and pang both
While her being barren
Scared her
She withered!
A woman without a child
Can she not crumble?
sometimes self pity
Sometimes anger
An unspoken question
Forever would poke at her
Her feminity bore all
Concerns, questions, pain and ridicule
Still without loosing her will
She decided she would fight brave
Wage a war against luck!
Today she holds a babe
In her arms
Her smiles are young
Laden with warm promises
His eyes twinkle and dream at distance
Their wait is blessed
And so is the soul
Now with parents, protection
Love and care
A family framed
A new legacy waiting to be made!
My co-sister and brother-in-law, have tried for having their child for the last 12 - 15 years.. But they were not the chosen ones there. However they decided to adopt a baby girl.. and today they have met their little angel...
As a woman, I sometimes wonder will I ever be able to imagine the pain and trauma they have experienced... But now that a golden chapter in their life begins, I am glad and all prayers!! May the best be theirs...
This poem is dedicated to the new parents and their little angel...our little angel! :)
