Okay, this is a contest that touches my heart! I've a friend of 30 years of age, she's had a bit of trouble having children. I've learned recently that she is expecting, and needs thoughts and prayers to help her hold on to this bundle of joy! I summon all my friends here at AP to send her thoughts, wishes, and whatever kind of prayer you subscibe to! I would like to offer this to her as a gift to hold onto forever. With the absolute kindness I have found here, the power we hold is amazing, and I know will mean much to all of our Gods' above! So, let us pray for her success with our words!
Rules:
1. If you use sticky caps, you are DQ'd!
2. No profanity!
3. No Erotica,,do I really even need to say that?
4. I reserve the right to remove CRAP! without comment.
I will not ask that you comment on any work including mine, I just want to give my friend all the best wishes from the best poets I have met in my life. This is important to her, and it is important to me to do this for her. Enough said.

I'm a little confused... what is this contest supposed to be?
-
I will work on something, Shawn! Thanks!
-
Thoughts and prayers are what she needs, so close your eyes and let the pen flow! I am certain you know exactly what to say.
-
I am asking for poems of good thoughts regarding a stressful pregnancy, with hopes of good wishes, very simple really. Think of it as a best wishes/congratulations greeting card!

Blessings!

So nice of you to host this contest. We can all pray for the best and wish the expectant parents much happiness in the future with their child.

I am so glad to see someone on here doing something this special. I cry as I write this and hear my baby in the next room in his crib... I had trouble getting pregnant and know the heartache of loosing a child in the womb. I am thrilled for your friend and tell her to hang in there! God is great!
-
Thank you for your kind words, and be sure the message will be passed along!
-
I am having writers block at this time but I do wish to send my best wishes to your friend and prayers in hopes to have a healthy and happy baby. God Bless her and my thoughts and prayers will be with you. HUGS ~val~

I am thrilled for your friends!!! We will keep them in our prayers. My best friend of 18 years has a 2 month old that we have waited years for- Tucker is precious! I wish your friends peace and happiness and that dreams continue to come true. What a special support person they have in you... Your contest is a beautiful idea and I will do my best to send you some great words.

I was wondering if this was a poetry contest, or a short story. Just wondering because if it's alright with you, I could tell of a story of a woman who went through hardship to have a child and how she was blessed with being able to have one. Then a couple of wise words... Is this OK? Thanks very much and get back to me when you can!

I know that we are all hoping the best for this woman and her safety must be the first. I hope that she makes it all the way this time. My wife only needs 16 more hours to be a doulah. She has seen this condition and it is not as rare as it sounds. The procedure is not as risky as it sounds, but with that said, there is still risk when they have had miscarriages before. I wrote a poem and will post it shortly. Good luck to all the entrants, The Shaker
-
That's fine, I don't mind short stories!
-
Thanks Shaker, I wait with baited breath for your entry!
-
Very thoughtful of you to put this contest together, I am sure that just the idea itself is a great way to show her support and we all pray for God to give her strength and to give her unborn baby power and life.
God bless you all. -
