Such Excitement (Sonnet)

in

Such excitement, congratulations, the smiles

A journey into the unknown, so exciting

We were naive to a future of so many trials

Until reality became enlightening

~

Not all were bad–in fact most were a joy

So much so we gave it another go

We prayed for a girl since we were blessed with a boy

Leaving it up to God to see which would show

~

Gift number two, with a girl we were graced

One more try we thought we would make

And last but not least, in our trust she was placed

A daughter–our youngest in whose life we partake

~

In spite of imperfections of which there are more than a few

With a heart full of pride, I am honored through and through

.

    Lovely sonnet Dom, being the parent of two lads I longed for a girl, but yes we are blessed with what we have.

      Absolutely, that is one thing we don’t have any control over. We just need to be thankful that they are happy and healthy. Thank you for providing a wonderful prompt my friend.

    I remember being touched by an earlier poem about your children!

      Thank you Gilly, what I write is truly what I think about them and my wife as well, but I am not terribly good at expressing it verbally, so this works best for me. :)
