The Way Life Sometimes Works

I fell in love with you,
The first time I saw you,
For you had the radiance
Of an angel,
Absolutely glowing
With contentment,
At peace with the world
And in harmony with life.
You had the most perfect
Youthful complexion,
And that dazzling smile
That spoke to my soul.
How could I not fall
For such stunning beauty?
I didn’t have to be told
What was going on,
Even though it had not yet
Begun to show,
Except on you face,
But I have seen that look
A time or two before,
And I knew without a doubt
That you were expecting
To be a mother soon.
Now a couple weeks later,
I hear you lost the child.
I understand your anguish,
And I sense your pain,
As you beseech the God
That allowed this to happen.
At times like this,
I’m not sure whether
It’s easier to believe in God
Or to be an atheist.
It may be difficult,
But try not to blame
Either God, your husband,
Or yourself.
This too is part of life,
And given time
Your spirit will heel,
And you will find
Other reasons to smile,
However tinged it may be
With the sadness
You now feel.
