A Life of Lives!
Expectancy on the air!
When everyone awaited for an heir.
Lamenting and weeping or
Delighting and rejoicing,
What would prevail sooner?
Thoughts arise as the time is nearer;
What to name him or her and
What will be if he or she?
While Mother feels painful, Father – fearful;
Siblings – joyous, Relatives – curious,
Tearful I was, then and there, joyful they were.
I know not, whether it is satisfactory.
But sure, my life will be filled up
With fun – love, fears – cares, screams – dreams,
Trials – triumphs, joys – sorrows and dark – light.
Yet nothing I could see as precious as Life,
As life is beautiful, progressive and miraculous all
the more.
P.
Theophine Michael, SJ
