She raced to the Lord with all her might,
She was a non believer but not tonight.
Tonight she had to pray for a happy future,
Not for herself but for the life within her.
“Send me a girl whom I can raise to be a worthy Woman,
A person who would go on to be no lesser than any Man.”
A person, who can live a life that is free,
A person, who can be the one I had wanted to be.
An independent one following the words of the heart,
Who would follow no rule and live by logic from the start.
A fearless one who should never be looked at askance,
Nor should anyone force my child into compliance.
A multi tasker and a nurturer my child does not have to be.
A brave heart with a kind soul is all I want my child to be.
A leader whom everyone would look up to.
The most daunting tasks my child shouldn’t be afraid to do.
Bemused the Lord decided to have some fun.
“All your wishes will be granted except for one.”
She found it reasonable and readily agreed.
And thanked the Lord and left feeling relieved.
She went home with her heart full of joy,
And 9 months later she gave birth to a boy!
