My Inspiration--My Boys

My Inspiration…My Boys

I felt the changes within my body

Then the competent doctor exclaimed

“You are indeed pregnant mother and I think its twin.”

Please Lord help me to make it.

Joy and fear flooded my mind

Did he say “twins” I asked myself

The thought of this was great but how will I cope

Lord will I make it?

The joy of these lives growing in me was thrilling

At times it became so overwhelming

Extra vitamins and regular doctor’s visit were priority

Please Lord give me strength to make it.

Half way through the journey another proclamation

They are boys and maybe identical

I froze..How am I to take care of two boys?

Please Lord this case is yours.

The day they were born I will never forget

Those bundles of joy, oh so perfect

Cuddling so warm in their blankets

Yes, You did it for me Lord.

I watch with glee as they grow and made their first steps

First smile, first teeth, first fall.. those came in reps

“Mommy” was the first word they say I can recall

The double-fold hugs are great I will cherish all

Lord with you I can make it.

Their first day at school had me speechless

I wept openly I must confess

Their eager faces and anxious smiles

Still flood my heart like river Nile

Thank you Lord am making it.

Now with their fourth birthday so near

I thank you Lord that you covered us with your care

Am forever grateful for the love

You send to me on the wings of a dove

My boys…My inspiration.
