Libby is a great Auntie!
Three cheers!
And so I found somemore lovely words, as you do!
Baby's First Day
Wonder of all wonderment!
Momentous moment when small form
First feels life in itself.
When new eyes open wide
On old, old world.
When tiny hands handle air;
Touch tenderness and love.
When ears first wake to sound
And silent lips find voice and food.
Soon newly wakened baby wearies.
World will keep.
Being born is quite enough
For one short day.
Baby hands rest;
Baby mouth yawns;
Baby eyes close in sleep.

A lovely way to start a Friday!
Libby is a great Auntie!
Three cheers!
And so I found somemore lovely words, as you do!
Baby's First Day
Wonder of all wonderment!
Momentous moment when small form
First feels life in itself.
When new eyes open wide
On old, old world.
When tiny hands handle air;
Touch tenderness and love.
When ears first wake to sound
And silent lips find voice and food.
Soon newly wakened baby wearies.
World will keep.
Being born is quite enough
For one short day.
Baby hands rest;
Baby mouth yawns;
Baby eyes close in sleep.

Good news for Great Aunt Libby - and a very nice gesture from you as usual Mrs N
Beautiful - you never cease to amaze me.
If she had hung on just a few more days we could have shared a birthday.
LOL
I must apologise profusely for not leaving a comment earlier, having chatted to you on the phone about a card, read the lovely poem you left here how rude am I.
So thank you Mrs N, a lovely lady with a heart of gold!!
BAbies are so full of love and light and goodness...all wrapped up in that new baby smell of deliciousness and warm sweetness.
Cheers to the new one.
Maynards for everyone!
Congratulations to the family of the new baby girl. What a joy!
