About Me

Name: Liz

Location: New York

I'm 37 and have been happily married since Sept. 2002. Ivan is truly my companion in life. Our TTC journey has felt like a never ending roller coaster ride. We had an ectopic PG in Dec. 04 and in April 05 found out my IF is due to tubal abnormality. We were told IVF was our only hope. July 05 we did IVF # 1 and it was a chemical PG. We did IVF # 2 in Oct. 05 and it was a BFN. In Jan. 06 we did a combined fresh and frozen embryo transfer and it was a BFN. We were determined not to give up our dream of having a baby. IVF # 4 was in April 06. The cycle worked like a charm and on December 20, 2006 we were blessed with Hannah and Matthew.

I found this poem on the internet and it gave me hope.

A child sat on Jesus' lap in the splendor of heaven.
The child asked "Is it time?"

Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said "No, not yet child."
The child asked "When will it be time?"
Jesus replied "When lessons are learned, hardships endured and loneliness lived, then it will be time."
Time passed.
The child asked "Is it time?"
Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said "No, not yet child."
The child asked "When will it be time?"
Jesus replied "When maturity is reached, self-worth is affirmed and spirits strengthened, then it will be time."
Time passed.
The child asked "Is it time?"
Jesus parted the clouds, looked and said "Their love is strong and their hearts are open - yes child now is the time - your parents are ready."

We must remember that our babies are waiting for us and the perfect time to come into our lives.

When Nature Is Not Enough
IVF will hopefully bring us the miracle we are waiting for.

I know your baby will come soon...God's watching over him/her/them :) Jenna commented at 12:49 AM~ That was a beautiful poem, thank you for finding and sharing it.. I hope all is well. Jenna Jenn commented at 10:38 AM~ I agree one hundred percent....I always tell people that they will have their baby "when it is done cooking"! I tell my son how God put us together, the other night he said to my husband "Daddy, God made us a perfect match!" It is going to happen - thank you for your inspiration! Ally commented at 7:38 AM~ Liz, That was beautiful...thanks for giving me hope. Anonymous commented at 11:30 AM~ Hi...I am the "author unknown" of the poem IS IT TIME and I am so overwhelmed that my poem is out there and gives comfort. Anonymous commented at 1:36 AM~ @Debbie Speed - I found your poem framed in a little thrift shop outside Wilburton, OK, a place I visit at least annually from my home in central OK. It was there for 3 or 4 of my trips and I read it each time and just loved the poem. Then I became pregnant with my first child and the next time I went back was delighted to see that it was still there, and I purchased it for my child's room. It's a sweet little poem. Thanks for sharing it. I just randomly decided to see if there was anything else about the author on the internet as your name was listed on my copy. Want to Post a Comment? back to main page
