oopsie-daisy

encircled
in her tiny fingers
many hearts.

her rosebud lips
leave, kisses

on our hearts

baby scent
sweet and milky
- ooh my heart.

God bless all the babies in the world! They are so vulnerable, they make you want to become stronger and prettier and wiser and so much more than what you are today. They make you realize the important things in life, the good things, the correct things, the little things, the big things.

She smiles in her sleep,
god blesses and god keeps.

She's a little beauty and to be so loved is a wonderful thing. I think babies make us look afresh at the beautiful and at times quite scary world we live in. So glad you've all come through it safley

Mermaid, maybe you will have a girl, each time I was pregnant Mark and I could only agree on a name which was the sex of the child we had, so perhapse your inner self knows more than science

Babies are so precious, so delicate, so lovable. Baby smell is the best smell in the world. I love to watch babies sleeping...enough to melt my heart!!!

Gulnaz your poem had touched me sooo much...

The begining of a newborn
an empty page
unfilled
moments to convey
with amazing touch
the touch of colours of love
the joy of life reflects on a page
the meaning is simple
gazing beyond
thoughts without a voice
a dream traced in blankness
withing the silence of the soul
collective thoughts
elevating hopes

Many hearts are in her tiny little grasp, and so many draw strength just from the sight of her.
I know all your hearts are melting.

how sweet....what a nice tribute to the new baby in your life. having children does really lift your spirits and remind you of what really is important in your life. i'm usually never around babies but i'm sure it would help my spirit. i envy you :) make sure to take pictures!!

...they make you want to become stronger and prettier and wiser...

HOW TRUE that is - I look ard these days and marvel at how adults and 30 yr old with babies still continue to be so immature and ignorant and take such risks with their babies health...*shudder*

Sweet.

Sue hardy-Dawson said...

My children love me to tell them about how I waited for them what I thought about as I'm sure one day your niece will love to hear about her daddy's dream and your poem about her. I wrote poems and stories for them when they were children and these are some or their most cherished possesions.

gulnaz said...

CJ, with a child there is always hope.

:.M:., thanks and welcome :)

finnegan, your comment makes me think how things remain the same even as they change. :)
