ONE BY ONE

by Sheila King   Feb 23, 2016


ONE.... day we fell in love
TWO.... of us forever
THREE.. little words meant to last; Our
FOUR.... eyes coming together
FIVE.... months before we said "I Do"
SIX.... was the day in the month of June
SEVEN... months later a baby to be
EIGHT....more months seem like eternity
NINE.... often known as the month September...came
TEN.... tiny fingers and toes, I remember
ELEVEN.. stitches from where I was torn
TWELVE...the day of the month you were born

ONE.... was the hour; minutes of twenty four
TWO.... big blue eyes and so much more
THREE.. hard hours of labor
FOUR... shots to sedate
FIVE... big pushes
SIX.... pounds and an ounce was her weight

Deliverly went fine with nmothing going wrong,
A tiny little girl... only
18" inches long
19 years old; pregnant with you
20 years old by time you were due; pregnant again at
21....
22 months apart; our daughter and son

Years go by both kids keep growing
Teenagers now, and some adulthood is showing
Soon both kids will leave the nest...
Leaving both mom and dad to rest

ONE... will leave- in
TWO... more years
THREE.. will be left to dry our tears
FOUR... years from now, you'll both be gone

ONE... day just
TWO... will carry on
