His Chance

While I held you as you were crying
You held me as I cried the same tears
Lost a child in utero, nearly lost you
And when you wanted to keep trying
Despite advice by some who live by fear
We joined together, as God gave life anew
Life miraculous, a joyful short moment
As parents we watch him go forward
Holding each other, praying, hoping
Time decays bodies, softens edges
Watching, his turn to be blessed
As God gives life, God is good
Life is a miracle, God is true
