They married, very pleased
Dreams many they weaved
Happy hours simply rolled
While love grew manifold.

Onto mountainous vales
Surely they both regaled
Soon she on family way
But hurdles many did lay.

Rain came bucketing down
Enveloping sky and town
Bringing plenty of mirth
Also cleansing the earth.

Travelling from morn to night
Unborn inside snuggled tight
Serpentine roads, moonlit night
River water, like silvery light.

Sudden blind bend up the hill
Mighty engine roaring shrill
Blinding lights, opposite end
Just no time for any amend.

Mighty machine losing might
Seemed the darkest of nights
O! Wet earth simply cracked
Machine slipped, was slapped.

Chilling winds shrieking
All of them hurt, weeping
Scattered and shattered
But hope still whispered.

Eyes full of tears and fear
Lonely night, no one near
Angel inside, safe and calm
Her unborn, her only balm.

Thorny paths up the hill
Her spouse down the hill
Comrade, near a boulder
Bruised broken shoulder.

Trio braving grave adversity
Their remarkable spontaneity
With blood soaked garment
Eyes pleaded management.

Step by step, all together
Facing inclement weather
Reached the road head line
Fetching care just on time.

In portals of hospital
Healed injuries fatal
In midst of acute pain
Blessings also did rain.

She birthed a sweet soul
Love shall forever hold
O! Yes. Life's ambiguous
Tumultuous yet mellifluous!
