Answered Prayer

I sat by the window, hands on my tummy,

in a straight back kitchen chair,

my feet on the radiator,

and I knew that God was there.

-

I thought of my responsibility

to the life I held within.
I knew I wasn't qualified

for this venture to begin.

-

So, I asked God for His Wisdom,

His Judgement and His Grace.
I asked Him for His Guidance,

in providing you a place.

-

I asked Him to intercede

when my judgement erred,

as I knew it would because

I was so unprepared.

-

And God did all the things I asked,

multiplied by ten times ten.

I thank God for you, every day,

my babe, the finest of all men.

-

I can't believe you came from me!

You are kind and good, and sharing,

with integrity, honesty and humor.

You are loving, sweet and caring.

-

Thank You, God for doing

the things I was unable to do.

Thank You, God for this son,

made in the image of You.
