Here in our midst

You came into our lives

at a time when we least expected it.

Yes, we prayed and prayed for

someone like you in our midst

and yet, we could not help but

be amazingly flabbergasted

when we first realized

You are here.

Inside me.

9 months later,

you shell out a cry

that roused me

from my deepest slumber.

Your cries, albeit loud –

are still music to my ears.

I knew it was you –

my dearest one.

You smile as you sleep –

showing off that cute facial dimples.

Oh, how I love seeing you smile!

They make things seem right –

that I must’ve done something great,

to deserve this moment.

This piece of heaven.

I stare and cradle you in my arms

and still, I am amazed by this instant.

That you are here.

In my arms.

In our midst.
