My Lucky One

Poem Commentary

I prayed for a healthy big bouncing baby boy.  9lbs 13oz and 21 1/2 inches long is the miracle I received.  He is all I have ever dreamed of and I could not be prouder.  Maybe it was supposed to be this way after all.  You have many talents, thank you cause of balance.  You helped me to see, this was maybe meant to be.  Peace....

My Lucky One

You were my first heartbeat,
got sick in the front seat.
Baby, what took you so long?
thought you'd never come along.
I dreamed of you so long ago,
There's so much I want you to know!

Your so big and healthy,
blonde with steel colored eyes,
i hope you end up wealthy,
with a few good close ties.

I cannot reproduce in captivity, i guess.
The ob/gyn doctors made such a mess,
impossible they said it be
tested, medicated, and cut on me.

I should have known they'd be
wrong again.
I should never have thought it was punishment for sin.
Your smart and bold and happy and funny,
you make my life bright and sunny.

Four of seven, is who you are.
My miracle baby, you have no mar.
56 hrs of pain, to get a 10lb baby boy,
what i feel for the first time, is pure joy!

My arms and heart are full,
the doctors were full of bull!
Let's go see the easter bunny
and your jokes are even funny.

Our blessing you are
we know you'll go far.
Always know we wanted you here,
they just had us full of fear.

Uncle Sam, and Agent orange I win!
He won't have to go, like my grandfathers then!
Because he is an only son!
He is my lucky one.

He won't have to carry a gun.
He'll be free to have a daughter or a son.
The carrier gene, will end with me!
Finally, my heart is free!

wow what a big baby boy you had. now he's growing up, but just because he's growing doesn't mean he has to stop being your miracle boy. your writing is so different. so unique. you inspire me :)

I'm that way in real life too. Causes confrontations, but my blood pressure is low. LOL

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.
