DESTINATIONS - From There To Here and Here To There
Labor Of Love
You
Make your presence known, finally
Jockeying for position to the finish line
Jump starting activity the likes of which
Would rival
The Indy 500 or such.
We
Who one day, you will probably think
Are the silliest people, you
Have ever known
Already love you more than anyone
You
Will possibly find in your life.
They
Tell us to be patient, because
Everything worthwhile, is worth
Waiting for
You
Announce your arrival
Loudly, and
Maybe, just a bit, upset
At being snatched from God's hands
To the arms of a crazy world.
We
Wipe away a few wayward tears of joy
Take turns lining up to hold the greatest miracle
Of all
And wait, until the time
All can say
A very proper hello.
Welcome home,
Allyson Grace.
