Our Miracle Maelin!: Mike and Cheryl's Journey to Maelin

A Moment In Time
(To my Daughter, Maelin)
On a Monday afternoon, a hot and humid day,
A couple waited anxiously, for the child for which they did pray.

Not sure if or when this moment would ever arrive,
This couples hopes and dreams managed to survive.

On this afternoon, many other parents joined them in happy tears,
Also dreaming of this day for so many years.

Suddenly in the room there appeared two babies so wee,
One taken to a couple~
the other into a room, was that the baby meant for me?

My husband said, “I think that was Maelin”,
Our excitement quickly grew as the reality set in.

Moments later, a woman began approaching us.
Could this be our baby girl, for whom we’ve made such a fuss?

I do not recall this woman’s face, or any details of her,
For I was too focused on who she carried, everything else was a blur.

She placed you in my arms, smiled, then walked away,
My prayers were answered on this very day.

My husband told me later that there were many cries,
Of babies meeting their new parents, with tears in their eyes.

The room was filled with chaos, but this I do not remember,
For all I was able to see and hear was my darling baby girl, so tender.

The most beautiful almond eyes staring back at me,
A sense of love and completeness came over me.

So strong is the love for this child, that it will exist for all of eternity,

This moment in time will be in my heart, forever with me.
