This Girl, My Angel ~ A poem by Sarah Trosper

My life changed in an instant.

A moment I had hoped and prayed for.

Placed in my arms was a part of me long missed.

Every bit of her is perfect.

Every movement is divine.

I look at her and feel a pang in my heart.

My heart growing with my capacity to love.

I feel fears I never had before.

And new insecurities amid strong instincts.

Through this miracle I feel God's love for me.

With a deeper respect for my parents.

I know I mean to them what this angel means to me.

I hurt when she cries.

I cry when she grows.

I wonder what she'll face in this life.

What joys and pains.

I still hope for a better world.

And find it in This Girl.
