Amazement

(Photos by the very talented Naisang Photography)

I knew to expect how fast it comes . . .

graduation

independence

beginnings of adulthood.

I just didn't know to expect

the feelings of

joy

and

amazement

That somehow I have brought

a soul from birth to adulthood.

I remember bad dreams

in which I'd forgotten I had a baby

left it at home

neglected to feed it.

I'm just that absent-minded.

I didn't doubt it could happen.

But somehow it didn't.

I've remembered to

clothe

feed

and nurture

this child.

And now she is grown

and healthy

and whole.

And I find that

nothing short of

a miracle of grace.
