Miracle

The pain she was in brought shame to my heart.

To think that I could be the cause of her tears and suffering made me question my worth.

It seemed like days that she lay writhing and screaming in pain.

Almost as bad, was the blood. There was so much blood. 

I wasn't sure how she was still conscious, or even alive.

Through all the pain and blood and screaming, I just sat and watched.

I offered no assistance, I simply sat, and watched, and waited.

In the end it was worth it.

The whole terrible experience was ended with one incredible miracle.

I watched as you entered this world screaming covered in blood. Tears filled my eyes and I heard her sigh of relief.

So much pain and blood, all made worth it in the end by a miracle.

Amazing. Oh Amazing! What a wonderful plot twist. There I was thinking all dark and scary then it was all worth it in the end by a miracle. The miracle made me smile. I'll admit it even made me give a tiny laugh. Simply brilliant. Thanks for sharing. =]

Thank you very much. I had been writing all day and didn't feel like I was done yet, but I was stumped for inspiration. I thought back to my daughter's birth and this just starting flowing.
