Seventh by Jennifer Wilson

A friend of mine wrote the following poem. I felt it was appropriate to share.

I know I'm number seven,

but the fact you can't deny

is that God, Almighty Giver,

is the Author of my life.

My soul is no less special,

and my spirit no less great

than those that came before me--

be they one, or six, or eight!

So many eyes are blinded

by the whispers of this world--

to them, there is no miracle

in a human life unfurled.

A baby's just a plaything,

a burden, or a chore,

and we must proceed with caution

to prevent too many more!

Only a fool would trust the Lord

to give as He desires

and live a life of trust in Him...

whatever that requires.

A new car may be exciting;

a new house may be a prize,

but my new life is better

than any thing that money buys.

So all the world may roll their eyes

when seven now they see--

But I can't wait until I meet

the "fools" who welcome me.
