Acceptance

Shahid

“Mom, it’s a girl!
She’s so beautiful—just like her mother.
Her brother’s waiting to meet her.
God keep her safe
and grant her a place in heaven.”

“Mom, she only stayed for two minutes.
Today, we bathed her, wrapped her up, and laid her to rest.
This was the time she was meant to have with us.
My prayer has been answered.”

“Mom, why are you crying?
We should be celebrating .
Today my eyes saw a face from heaven.”
