“Their Dream of Three” – A poem to our newborn

On a January evening,
they felt lucky they met.
That January moment
marked the start of them as a pair.
—
Each day their story got better,
more than it seemed could be.
Years were filled with love and travel,
until one day they dreamed of three.
—
They embarked on their next adventure,
to create and love a tiny heart.
Their journey started with excitement,
but they found there was a catch.
The task was not as easy as society once taught.
They found the road to parenthood,
to be narrow and rough.
—
Their days now standing still with only hopes and wait.
Sorrow filled the time and a doctor claimed their fate.
Visit after visit became the new norm,
while a cruel and ignorant society
filled their hearts with hurt.
—
Two years quickly passed.
Their dream of three was fading away.
Grasping to a last thread,
it was love that made them stay.
—
Giving up to the dream of three,
seemed to be their best bet.
Until the Universe intervened
and gifted you to them.
—
Excitement and hopes resurfaced.
Her belly grew and grew.
And nine short months later,
there it was; beautiful you.
—
After this difficult journey,
they are now as happy as they can be.
Through all the pain and disappointments,
they have you, each other
and a realized dream of three.
