The poem that follows answers the prompt at Poetic Asides. If you are in need of inspiration you should visit that site.
Most Difficult
I was not prepared
To have it go horribly
Wrong, but had no choice
In the course of the events,
God was in complete control.
Pregnancies are by
Nature somewhat uncertain,
Twins even more so,
But complications arose
And there were difficulties.
At times I believed
Everything would be okay,
But I knew the risks
In Twin to Twin Transfusion
Syndrome were very severe.
When one precious twin
Died I was devastated,
Then I had to make
The choice of whether I would
Continue carrying one.
I was told she would
Most probably die also
Or be terribly
Handicapped, so I chose to
Let her go with heavy heart.
Sometimes I still blame
Myself for being selfish,
But I think it was
For the best even though it
Was the hardest choice ever.

I am grateful:
1. I was able to sleep late.
2. Alex called me last night.
3. Laura called and came to pick up the shirts we had bought for Alex.
4. Life is rewarding.
5. I have a decent memory.
I hope you have had a wonderful Wednesday. Take some time to engage in a creative endeavor now. You cannot expect to improve your skills if you do not exercise them regularly. Make time to explore your imagination.
