Poetry

Cheyla prayed and prayed for a baby girl

She wanted one more than anything in the world

Cheyla changed her mind and remembered the joy

Of what it was like having a baby boy



Michael has wanted a baby sister from the start

He really, really wanted one with all of his heart

Michael started praying for the baby everyday

That God may somehow give him his way



Joshua wanted a little Cheyla and a little Mike

I hoped and prayed God wouldn't be listening to that little tyke

I told Joshua there was only one baby many, many times

And tried to ask him if he thought there was a boy or girl inside



Today the kids and I went to the doctor for an Ultra Sound

Among other things, the gender of our baby was found

Ladies and gentlemen, family and friends

I know must bring this poem to an end



But before I give this ending a whirl

I really must tell you we are having a girl!
