I have some very exciting news!
I submitted a poem that I wrote for a contest at Poetry.com, and yesterday I received notification in the mail that my poem has been selected for the semi-finals! To be honest with you, I only entered the contest because I completed a cash offer at TreasureTrooper.com where I received a $1.50 just for entering the contest, and I actually wrote the poem on the spot. LOL I really didn’t think it was all that great. But, hey, I guess they liked it.
Now get this……not only am I entered into the semi-finals for the contest, my poem is actually going to be published in one of their annual publications! Pretty cool, huh?
Here’s the poem. I wrote it about the premature birth of my twin girls. And here’s a couple of flash back pictures of when they were born.
Two Small Miracles
There were two lives growing inside.
In the beginning, one was trying to hide.
I guess she was afraid to show her face.
Then she finally decided to take her place.
When we knew there were two, we started to prepare.
Then six weeks later we had quite a scare.
One decided she wanted out!
And the other thought, “What’s this all about?”
So two lives were brought into this world.
13 weeks early, but they were fighters, our girls.
Our two small miracles still amaze us today.
Perfect, healthy, and here to stay.
