This precious child

That tiny doting smile that greets you each dawn
As you look into the cherub face of your child
Your heart is lifted with the wonder of it all
That you are blessed with one so gentle and mild

As you watch her slumber, what dreams fill her head
Her soft blonde curly hair on the pillow, you spy
How lucky you are to have this wonderful child
As you stand and watch her, you heave a deep sigh

For you know that soon she will start to wake
Gurgling and watching you with those big eyes
As you sweep her up into your loving arms
No matter what she gets up to, you can`t chastise

It`s at times like these, you know how lucky you are
To have a perfect little daughter to adore
No matter what life will throw at you along the way
One thing will keep you going, this child, nothing more!


A lot of my friends are having babies and that is so awesome, it has sparked off some poetry and I have really enjoyed exploring these poems.
