Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. This week’s theme is pregnancy and childbirth.

Today’s poem thanks God for a pregnancy.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Hallelujah! I'm pregnant! Praise the Lord!

For the Lord has quickened my womb! With my husband,

Of course, and Dr. Heller, who quickened the sperm.

Which makes it no less a miracle.

For the Lord has quickened my womb! With my husband

I thank Him and science both, and bless them.

Which makes it no less a miracle

Of the Lord, Who works through the works of our hands.

I thank Him and science both, and bless them.

With science I have but a passing acquaintance.

Of the Lord Who works through the works of our hands,

Of the Lord I sing all the words in my heart!

With science I have but a passing acquaintance,

Of course, and Dr. Heller, who quickened the sperm.

Of the Lord I sing all the words in my heart:

Hallelujah! I'm pregnant! Praise the Lord!
