My Accidental Miracle
Ashlee
May 2006
One month and one day after I turned twenty-one
I found out that a baby soon would come
I cried and I begged for God to take away
This life inside me for this was just not the right day
9 months later I did see
The most beautiful little girl before me
7 pounds and 11 ounces, we were hysterical
Little did I know she was my accidental miracle
3 years later we decided to try
To bring a new life into this world again, oh my
My little Kayla left us too soon
She was only 3 months in my womb.
With hope in our hearts we soon tried again
I first saw her on the sonogram
Little Scarlet seemed so strong and so brave
My heart fell so in love, I was amazed
The technician called her our little peanut
Oh, this day I would never forget!
Soon the doctor’s appointment day arrived
It was amazing, I felt so alive
When I heard the fast little flutter
And the doctor said “her heart beat couldn’t be better!”
One month later me and my hubby
Went for a check up for the little one in my tummy
But to our demise, there was no heart beat
Our second little angel had gone to meet
Her sister Kayla and her Grandma too
Oh now what do we do?
Two little holes left in my heart
For the two little souls that did part
But my heart is somehow made hole
By my accidental miracle
Only 40 inches tall
She is the greatest gift of all
Now I truly know, that the paths our lives lead
Are miraculous and mysterious, yes indeed
For this little child that was conceived by mistake
Is the biggest joy of every breath I intake.
