This is very beautiful, well-written poem. It movingly and vividly describes the coming of John the Baptist. You refer to his birth as a miracle because of her age--right?

Thank you for this beautiful meditation of Elizabeth and her mother's heart wondering about all the prophecy about her son and yet choosing to savor those sweet early moments of motherhood!

Melissa,
I can see this. *smile* Those still, small moments when the baby is just hers. Before he belongs to the world and to history. When he is just a wee, simple baby. This is precious. And soooo beautifully done. Nice!

Comment from royowen
When an extraordinary thing happened, like Elizabeth conceiving beyond the normal age of conception for a woman. A cousin of Jesus, who preceded Him by six months, he was born to "prepare The way of the Lord" And ultimately be a voice "crying in the wilderness" John, who recognised who he was baptising, and Jesus insisted so that "righteousness was fulfilled". This is a work that would rank among your best, well done, the repeated line was seamless. Smooth meter and rhyming, well done, blessings, Roy

Comment from moonsunrise
I love your very heartwarming and inspirational poem. The miraculous image you selected of Elizabeth and her son John, the one to become, the Baptist is magnificent. The love of a mother clearly seen for her baby boy that God has gifted her with. The prophecy will reach fruition in the later years to follow. It is destined by God but for the moment all is well with Elizabeth and her baby boy.

What a lovely poem about the birth of John the Baptist.
I love the way you followed through with the sentence,"She sits on her cushion beneath rays of sunlight."
You tell the story well using that partial sentence to build on. Zacharias was struck dumb until after John's birth. Well done Melissa. Nancy:)
