I Almost Wasn't
by Marijo Phelps(250)
Lifting sunlit eyes
Many faceted green
You wrought
When I was but
Womb bound
You brought
All Your pre-thought
Me
To be
Together found
Sperm and ova united
Breath of life
You breathed
Holy Spirit ordained
Pre-held little one
Joyfully known
By the hosts
Of heaven
Before my mother
Had a clue
Cherished of God
Before my mother
Shed tears
Earthly sorrow
Uncontrolled
She made her choice
I was given life
Time
To grow
And glow and know
What You planned
For two celled
Me
Plans in time
And then Eternity
She’s with You now
And I thank her still
Her difficult choice
My life, my breath
As she exercised her will.
Jeremiah 1:5 (New King James Version)
“ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations."
Psalms 139:13 (New King James Version)
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

Thanks Teresa - this is personal and true... the Holy spirit told me when I was in my 30s that my dad wasn't my dad... I should write that one....
