New Life.

Goldfinch60



She was new in my life,

Her birth gave new meaning to me.

I saw her grow through childhood,

Through to adulthood

Into the beautiful woman she became.

 

Once more I will see new life

As my daughter gives birth,

Birth to a young one

Into her world,

Into my world.

A world where joy will abound,

Where love will be given

To the mother,

To the father,

But especially to the child.

That love will never fail

As I will be there,

Surrounding my family,

With all my love.

    That unconditional love for our offspring is a wonderful thing. I know the rewards grandchildren bring to us in our senior years.
    Such joy.

    I hope your words were well received, as they are here.

            A truly delightful poetic welcome to the newest family member dear Andy - Congratulations on the birth of a grand daughter and am sure she will treasure these words when she is grown....... thank you for sharing them here.

              Thank you for your kind words Fay but I wrote this for somebody else who had a new granddaughter.

              GP's - to GC's
              distant yet close
              not responsible, yet more caring
              compassionate, yet patient

                "If I had known that grandchildren could be so much fun I would have had them first!"

                • Suresh

                  That's the difference between being responsible vs caring
                  We are responsible for our children
