Timing Abed

She sat in the room,

Quietly in the bed

And wondered again

Where this had led.

 

She’d been doing just right

Keeping stress levels down,

Trying her best

To keep away a frown.

 

But life happened again

As it always will,

It happened quite loudly

And now she is ill.

 

The babies are safe.

That’s what the doctors said,

And safe they will stay

As long as she’s abed.

 

So she’ll stay here and wait,

Make sure they’re all right.

She’ll stay here and wait,

Until the time is in sight.

I’ve mentioned in at least one post that one of my sisters is pregnant with twins. Yesterday we received a call that the water on one of them had broken. They’re not due until the end of July at the earliest. Luckily, she was able to get to the hospital and didn’t lose either of her little boys. She now has to stay at the hospital until they have developed enough to come out into the world.

This has not been an easy pregnancy and she’s already had a bleeding out scare. She’s doing everything she can to keep her twin boys safe and is blessed to have a wonderful husband who will also do all he can. I thank God everyday that she is still here.
