For Astrid Wren My Little Bird

For Astrid Wren My Little Bird

 

Now you are here

we just can't

take our eyes of you ..

Yes you, and your

big baby blue eyes ..

Hey, just look at

those hands of hers

too tiny, to catch

hold of his fat thumb ..

She sounds

like a puppy, while

he stands there

on guard, beside her

just gazing down

and happily,

beating his drum ..

For she,

there is no doubt

at all, is loved,

perfect and beautiful

all neatly

rolled into one ..

It was then, that he

cried through his

whiskers

and he whispered ..

I shall be brave for you

Astrid,

my dear Astrid Wren ..

Just for you,

my little bird, I shall

forever be wise

and always, be strong ..

          So very touching, it's unconditional love, and it's just what you deserve, every day Astrid will grow and in a couple of months she will start giggling, that's when I fear I shall lose my poetry friend lol , Nev you just can't get enough of a new born I know I've spent my life looking after them, so many stages and it's always different when we are a family member looking in as we can have all the fun and then go home! Even though knowing you it's hard too leave each day πŸ€— enjoy this marvelous moment as you already know how fast they grow up. I know you are without doubt the best popps she could ever have. πŸ’–
