Thank you for being a constant joy in my life. Here's your poem (written especially for you when you first came into the world)
Sweet New Child (for my niece 2008)
Sweet new child,
Warm and milky
Creamy skin and tiny toes like pale pink peas
Know that you are loved
Beneath the soft fluff of blankets
is the Tick Tock of your new heart
Waiting to discover...
Your darling curling fingers, now holding firm,
one day will let go
and you’ll reach for freedom
Your dimpled smile will surprise you,
As you prepare for your first giggle,
For laughing at yourself and the world
