My daughter (who has now been my walking companion for 2 days) and I were invited to a home for dinner, where a young couple with a 2 yr old daughter were pregnant with another bub, that their ultrasound pictures fro. that day showed clearly to be a little boy. They could see, amazingly clearly, a very lot about him and much of his body functions had been measured and assessed to be working well.
.
Oh God, I saw last night something I am
considering in light of bigger love.
With help of doctors, ultrasound exam-
inations, Mum & Dad know more, above
what could be known by their small child inside
the tum of Mum, who's sheltered it so far,
and Dad who cares for both, and would provide
for any needs they have, where they both are.
They know this little chap, his bladder full,
and function of his heart, and penis length,
and nothing in their knowledge of him will
convince them not to focus all their strength
to help him to develop as befits
the son of t'other one, who is beloved,
besotted with their child, they care for its
development as though it hadn't shoved
it's way into their lives to use them up.
They let themselves be spent with love's delight
in pouring their own lives out from the cup
of their united purpose, day & night
to join with one another, and with God
to image love's own creativity
and giving-ness, in ways that would seem odd
if all creative love's activity
could not be fully trusted to provide
what's really necessary for all life
from its conception till it has arrived,
outside, when life takes off, and it's more rife!
