A Gift from God ~ acrostic
©copyright 2005 Bonita M Quesinberry, R.C.
Many a month has passed and seems it's time;
A day that came in with a bang.
Labor began in earnest, the pain a crime.
Zip to hospital, wait be hanged!
Agonizing hours for concerned friends,
Notes passing back and forth for news to learn:
Does anyone know anything, lines churned?
Keen chaos: Malz' life would not be the same,
A new life just minutes away.
Reason fled, Kara Lynn being her name;
A gift from God on this new day.
Loudly, Kara announced her arrival.
Yes! Malz thought, and gazed at her face,
Not recalling the pain: just survival.
Now Kara's close in sweet embrace.

Well done Bonnie!
You have captured the "Labour of love" so very well here:
"Not recalling the pain: just survival.
Now Kara's close in sweet embrace"
I remember gazing at my sons face once I had gave birth to him, all the memory of the painful labour just faded away.
I love this poem. Good luck hun
Hugs

In the second to that stanza, did you mean "began"? Just asking. This was a beautiful tribute to a beautiful mom and baby. I think she will really appreciate all the wonderful poetry written in her honor.
