The Second Gift
From the heaven
Uneasiness enveloped her for days,
A presence stirred inside of her.
For certainty, she sought medical aid,
And it confirmed — new life grows within.
Heaven smiled once more upon her,
Bestowing a second pearl.
Discomfort brought turbulent waves,
Yet she wavered not, connecting with the love inside.
Instantly, they bonded.
Her love glowed for the gift within her.
Messages of love were exchanged,
Excited kicks depicted understanding.
She felt the love without seeing her face,
Anticipating the day of emergence.
In spring, when flowers bloom,
She birthed a new blossom,
The miracle awaited,
Bringing joy to our hearts.
Welcome, baby.
