Have You Heard?

She told me that she had some news
To share with me today.
Then without hesitation, she
Did voice her thoughts and say:

“We’re going to have a baby;
I don’t know when or where.
But since you’ll have to change its pants,
I thought you might just care.”

To some a revolution or,
An earthquake, or a fire,
Would on the nightly evening news
A bulletin require.

But never in my life have I
Heard such a wond’rous fact.
And I could hardly manage to
My senses keep intact.

And so we grasped each other tight,
We might have even cried;
In reverence to this blessed day,
And what she held inside.
