NEW LIFE (I.P.)

At seven in the morning when you’ve watched a baby borning

And you cannot smile for yawning through the tears

You just can’t describe the pleasure as you hold the little treasure

And you think of all the pleasure that’s to come throughout the years!

And you know your heart’s been captured when you gaze at her, enraptured -

Only God could manufacture those cute ears!

 

As you look at her in wonder all your cares are put asunder

Just when you think you’re going under, your head clears!

You know nothing really mattered though your life was being battered -

This sweet new life has shattered all your fears!

Now all you want to do is to hold her close to you –

And protect her through whatever strife appears.

Said from the heart! Nice to have the rhythm and rhyme rolling it on, conveying the thrill. Rhiannon

Thanks Rhiannon.  I hope to be experiencing this thrill again in the next couple of weeks when Katie (Mrskatehowell) gives birth to her second child.!

I've been wondering recently if all has gone well? I hope so. I presume you have been kept very busy. Rhiannon

Hi Linda,

this is such a special poem that I adored.   The birth of a baby is the most treasured experience and this is a great tribute.

Beautifully done.

Thanks Jenny, glad you liked it.  I woke up with it in my head this morning and jotted it down on an old Birthday card so I wouldn't forget it!  Maybe it's a sign that I should be packing my hospital bag soon!

Hi Rhiannon and other friends, Just to report that Katie gave birth to an adorable daughter Amelia Ann last Friday 23rd May at 2.24 p.m.  She was 8lb 2oz and it was my privelege to be at the birth.  Katie was so good and so brave I was very proud of her and I know her Mum would have been too. Both doing well.  Thanks for your interest!

That's such lovely news, Linda. Tell Katie congratulations. I had been wondering how things were going, too. 

All the very best to Katie and family,

Bee xx

Hi Linda,  Guess I'm a bit behind. Not much time for anything these days.

However. I've just read the News or in my case History of New arrival.  So pleased you were there to continue the loving support you have given, Please give them all my very best wishes and apologies for being so late.  Roy x

Hi Roy.  Mum baby and rest of family all fine thanks.  They grow so fast I reckon baby Amelia will be walking in a week's time!

Not wrong there Linda. Our little un has just turned 3 and a little girl instead of the baby we had.  Talks the hind legs of her grandad. Great fun though.  Glad to hear you're all well.

Thank-you for your wishes Roy, she's beautiful and growing so fast. Now 11 weeks old and rolling over for the first time. Can't believe the time has flown so quickly. 

I must admit reading this poem and comments still brings tears to my eye. I'm glad this birth wasn't as long as the previous. The suitcase was not needed! Haha

You're very welcome Kate.   Glad to hear it all went well for you.

Oh yes, time has wings.  Can't believe Linda and I are no longer Teenagers haha.

I must start reading again. It's been so hectic there's not enough days in a week.
