EXPECTANT SPOUSE
The beautiful woman I am proud to call my wife
Is bodily distended with promise of new life.
It’s quiet but at same time speaking testimony
Of the healing God’s given to her fertility.
The miracle that’s taken place has buried the years
We had tried to conceive with frustration and much tears;
Which tested but strengthened our closeness as a couple.
Thank God the child will come when we’re still fit and supple!

To anonymous - pardon the late reply but would love to say I am moved it was a moving read to your The poem BTW is not autobiographical but is based on my awareness of couples who have had to endure much trying before the children they wanted came. If you're both still with us, God bless you.
