HAPPINESS!!

She smiled.

She spoke.

She cuddled.

The bundles of joy, she wished.

In her arms, cared and snuggled.

The yesterdays stretched eternity and beyond,

Hope and dreams wasted lay crushed.

The body tired, the heart ached,

Like the rainless earth, sore and parched.

Yet, she persisted, the woman she is.

Her whimpers turned to thunder,

Rolled along, deafening wonder.

The gods of heavens and earth,

Bowed in admiration,

And let loose a miracle!

Of one life, maybe two. 

She embraced her miracles, her motherhood.

She smiled.

she spoke.

she cuddled.

I knew what I saw!

I believed it too!

Happiness is what I saw!

I believe it is true and it’s the truth.

Dedicated to a friend far but dear.
