At dVerse poets , we look back on 2025 for the last poetics prompt of the year…
Looking back in rearview mirror,
on events of past month of year,
swipe tissue under blurry eyes
and serve up slice of humble pie.
Sweet baby, born before her time,
fits beautifully in family line
but tiny heart anomaly
means coming home not yet to be.
God, in his wisdom, has a plan
higher than that of mortal man;
helpless we feel to watch and wait
while surgeon’s skills work delicate.
Magdalena will live her name
demonic power of death won’t reign;
her will to live is stubborn, strong
her parents, faith-full, walk along.
Grandparents care for brother, Gid
( and wonder at precocious kid! )
family and friends all watch and pray,
believe in miracles today!
