Child of my child,
breathe my blood within hers.
Sip mouthfuls of loving sustenance,
Generation nectar.
Swim in an ocean of hope,
grow in a sea of love,
Dance to the tune of life,
And when you are done,
show us our future.

Congratulations on your new granddaughter, Glynis. I really missed a lot while not on blogger. I'm sure Seren is very loved and spoiled by you :)
ReplyDeleteLovely poem. Your words wrap around the subject like a warm blanket wraps around a child.

On a newborn note, I wrote these 4 lines yesterday about a just born baby:-
Lying there pink and puckered,
aged, yet ageless.
New-born blotting-paper.
soaking up the world’s ink.
Thank you, Simon. I enjoyed your vision of a newborn. Soaking up the world's ink...lovely.
