Miracle

How is this possible?
This wonder
this miracle
this phenomenon
called birth.
A little creature
a little human
a little baby
inside of you.
It kicks
against
the skin
inside.
Bump bump
bump bump
a song
it sings.
Nine months
thirty-six weeks
two-hundred fifty-two
odd days.
All leading up to
one moment
of screaming
of pain
of love.
A love
that lives
forever
as the baby grows
bigger and bigger.
A newborn
a toddler
a child
and adolescent.
A teenager
a young adult
and finally
a parent.
Repeating
the cycle
forever
never ending
a miracle
called birth.
