Accidental Miracle
He was in my life before i turned 15 years of age -
I did not even know he existed -
My mother was the first to realise -
She cried herself to sleep -
She saw doctors, specialists, friends -
But he was there to stay -
I knew he would be a disruption to my life -
I knew it was bad timing -
It would be my senior years that would be effected
the most ~
Then my dad found out -
All hell broke loose -
Thats when the tears finally found escape -
The swelling grew larger -
Month by month -
Christmas came and went -
Bringing with it the New Year -
And him, a new life -
With a dramatic entrance into the world -
He fought for his life for a week -
Then we brought him home -
Healthy and pink -
I learnt to bathe him and dress him -
And to hold his delicate little head -
Time would stop as his warm body moulded into my
chest -
I loved him more than i could have thought
possible -
He grew larger and longer -
He learnt to smile and laugh -
A sound i had been waiting for since his birth -
Slowly time moved on -
He developed new skills -
Learnt to sit up, to crawl -
Learnt to cuddle back ~
As i watch his soft blonde hair -
Stick wet to his head in the bath -
His large blue eyes -
Framed with thick black lashes -
I can't help but wonder what my life would have -
been like without him -
Without his toothy grin -
His dimpled smile -
His sweet baby laugh -
The cheeky look he gets when he finds something
breakable... -
I do not think my life would have been quite as
complete ~
For an accidental miracle -
He has brought so much joy -
Thank you Harrison -
My baby brother, baby boy.
