<div id="html-content">
	<h1 style="text-align: center;">Seventh Child</h1>
	<p><em>Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?</em>&nbsp; (Gen. 18:13)</p>
	<div>Sarah would laugh</div>
	<div>to think that I feel old,</div>
	<div>yet understand better than I</div>
	<div>the longing which gives you life</div>
	<div>and overcomes the logic</div>
	<div>that it has been too long</div>
	<div>and six is sufficient</div>
	<div>for seed as dust and stars.</div>
	<div>&nbsp;</div>
	<div>Is it your desire to come to earth</div>
	<div>that makes me willing</div>
	<div>to give you birth</div>
	<div>and further fulfill God&rsquo;s promise?</div>
	<div>What blessing will you bring?</div>
	<div>What mission will be yours</div>
	<div>in this Saturday of time,</div>
	<div>you who are Sarah&rsquo;s increase</div>
	<div>as well as mine?</div>
	<div>Could I have kept completely</div>
	<div>my mortal purpose and</div>
	<div>consecration&rsquo;s covenant</div>
	<div>without you?</div>
	<div>Sarah knew much of altars,</div>
	<div>aging, offspring-waiting,</div>
	<div>missions and promises.</div>
	<div>Now as we grow and wait,</div>
	<div>she would teach us also faith.</div>
	<div>&nbsp;</div>
