And this time, a child.


A million times and more,

‎she aimed a bullet at his heart.

‎A million times and more,

‎she ran from his body — still alive, still reaching.


‎A thousand times and more,

‎a child prayed things would be better:

‎a present man,

‎a husband who truly adored his wife.


‎A hundred times and more,

‎the Saviour kept knocking —

‎His still, small voice whispering, “Let Me in,”

‎but her heart stayed frozen with fear.


‎Ten times and more,

‎a Father to her —

‎and then, a father for her,

‎one to whom she truly belonged.


‎And this one time,

‎a child — finally a child —

‎with a father gained,

‎and a mother made whole again.
