>miracle.

silence broken
a cry
warms the cold hospital room
a mother’s tears
flow down her cheeks
a father grins
amazed
at what their love has created
their hands clasp tightly.
busy and hurried
the nurse wraps the babe
and tiptoes off.
left alone they stare into each other’s eyes
overwhelmed
by the moment
when their dreams became
their reality.
