Deliberately Debbie Poem by Debbie A Stevens

Arrived into this world on a Wednesday
Somewhere between night and morn’
Smaller than her first
Brown curls just like her mother’s
'Congratulations on the birth of Mandy'
The words on her very first card
Difference of opinions would change it forever
Funny how the hand of God steps into our lives?
The ‘Cancerian’ baby born on a cusp
In a mum’s book, always a ‘Leo’
An older sister had a new friend
Mandy soon became Debra
The mother’s middle name remained safely in place
Everything happens for a reason, a purpose
I am, Deliberately Debbie!
