The Story of Lukah

I've created several versions of Lukah's birth story, but this one is a special poetic ballad I created for KC on Valentine's Day. I was so impressed with my rhyming ability, I wanted to share the poem with you all. So here we go...



The Story of Lukah...the Story of Us

It started with an owl, a rabbit and a tree
and two young lovers, walking gleefully.

The night was quiet as the owl came down,
and the rabbit took a bow, forfeiting the crown.

The two young lovers, they quietly observed,
and knew that something cosmic had just occurred.

From that point on, they walked hand-in-hand,
dancing and swaying and sailing across the land.

One special night as they dreamt happily in bed,
the little Light of Lukah entered gracefully into their heads.

They knew is wasn't yet time to bring her to Earth,
but rested well knowing she would be ready for her Birth.

They were engaged amongst the Rainbows,
and married upon the Big Lake,
and after a blissful year in Spooner
headed west to see what they could make.

They crossed mountains and plains, forests and rivers.
Oh! the sights they took in gave them quivers and shivers.

Little Lukah stayed so close, often visiting in dreams
and shining her Light through their art in multi-colored themes.

After several years of growing
and through waves of ups and downs
the two young lovers felt ready
to give Lukah her golden crown.

There was a very special morning
the young man heard angels singing
and out of Light walked in his Grandpa
Oh! what sacred words he was bringing.

"Six day time" is what he said,
six days time and they would know
that inside mama's belly
their little Lukah had started to grow!

And from that point their world took on
a whole new meaning and a whole new song.

They had nine short months
to prepare heart and home
for the upcoming arrival
of this gift from the gnomes.

And quickly those days did fly
but were filled to the brim
with all the love, joy and celebration
that one could possibly fit in.

For this little one was surrounded by Light
that drew family and friends
to witness the sight
that just happened to occur on a Full Blue Moon night!

Her arrival long awaited, as she was ten days past due,
with mama and papa working so hard
all twenty-six hours through and through.

And finally she entered into the world
with Grammy Linda there to greet her
and gently detach her from her cord.

And just ahead of a fierce winter storm
inside they snuggled
all safe and warm.

Star Baby, Star Baby
we welcome your soul
Little Lukah Gracy
you've made our hearts whole.
