You are so right. When I stop to think about my babies, I realize what a true miracle birth is. I had four pregnancies and three sons. I know how you felt in 1978. You summed it all up beautifully.

Thank you so much for the excellent review and kind comments. I have four pregnancies and three sons, too! We lived in New York at the time of my miscarriage. I slipped and fell on the ice and began to have problems right after that. I appreciate the kind compliments and for stopping by. Have a wonderful Mother?s Day!

Yes it is. My Mary and I had six, 3&3- Today Mary is in Heaven with one of my sons and now I relish Great and Grand children. 3 sets of twins. We took God serious, He said be fruitful and multiply. 2X3= 6. No doubt you are having the time of your life with those kids. My blessings to you and to all. Have a great day.

Wow, you are a blessed man. My husband and I are, as well. We just love being grandparents. Twins run on my side of the family. I was a twin but she didn?t make it. I always feel like someone is missing in my life. I will see her in heaven along with those who have gone ahead. Thank you for kind and thoughtful review.
All my best,

The author's words are beautiful, sweet and thought provoking.
Thank you for the author's notes. Being a Mother is a miracle
and a blessing from God above. Thank you for stating it with
much love. The artwork is perfect and compliments this poem.

Thank you for the excellent review and understanding. My mother beat the drum for a little girl. She adored our three boys and was very close to them. They all were torn up when she passed away.

A Happy Mother?s Day to you, too!
Always my nest to you and yours,

Oh, so wonderful that you had such a special woman, if only for a time.

I'm sorry to hear about your first child, Sally. Life has its ups and downs. Yet you are blessed with the love of those around you. One day you may carry your great great grandchildren. :) What would that make you? :) Thank you for the mother's present.

Thank you dear poet. Right now I am called Grammy. I guess when I become a great grandmother it will be great Grammy. Jackson is Granddad. Our oldest grandson is turning 13 soon so we have some time. Thank you for the excellent review and kind comments. We lived in New York at the time when I miscarried, about a week after falling on ice. Our two oldest sons were born in New York a lifetime ago, yet, seems like yesterday. All my best and a Happy Mother?s Day to your wife.

A very well-written Nonet about motherhood that is a higher calling for very special duty to look after and be part of little children's lives are a wonderful blessing from God.

I think this is a very good tribute to mothers who are loving, sincere and honest. I believe those three characteristics are most important. And, raising your children the best you can. Happy Mother's Day!

This is very well-written and moving. There's something to be said for
NOT knowing if it's a boy or girl!The "womb" metaphor is a really effective
element for emphasis.

Thank you so much for the excellent review and insightful comments. Yes, we liked being surprised. Nowadays, they have gender reveal parties. It?s a different world.
All my best to you and yours. Happy Mother?s Day!
