A birthday poem for Michelle

How was it that we
ended up in this place
Lost from our plans
Our dreams displaced

And how could the wave
hit so unexpectedly hard
blind-siding with pain
when wishing on stars

And how as we walked
on the edge of losing it all
Did a miracle find us
and stop our fall.

And how could you
stand so bright and strong
Leaving me feel
so small in your arms

And how can I still
dare to dream in the night
that things will work out
that it will be all right

As I lay my hand on you
and still feel her move
I know its your love
I know its you

You get me through
every extreme
You give me reason
to continue to dream

And all I can wish
is for our Christmas tree
and smiles from all
a healthy happy baby

And I'm holding my wish
and will never let go
I will keep it beside me
because I know

That between us
love conquers all
That miracles are possible
when love stands so tall
