My labour was long I was exhausted! With one final push my tiny baby arrived in the world He was perfect with huge blue eyes downy blonde hair chubby pink cheeks Now grown up he’s left home I’m so proud of my precious son Diminished Hexaverse Poetry Contest Sponsored By Emile Pinet n/a contest judged 05/22/20 05/22/20

This poem suggests what I have long believed: A mother's love is the most powerful force on earth. Nothing-- absolutely nothing--compares to it. Thanks, Jan. Hugs, Paul

Our son is home with us during pandemic 2020. One upside of the whole affair is families who have a chance to re-connect. Loved your touching poem, I know he makes his mum proud. Hugs ~ John

Children are such a blessing Jan. I loved hearing how your son was born. You are blessed that he is healthy, the most important thing. One day he can show this poem to his son or daughter! So sweet! Hugs xxoo

It is wonderful when they are born perfectly. Raising them and watching them leave the nest is sometimes difficult for a parent. I am glad he is home safe with mom.I read your comments below. A winning entry here Jan.

I am truly blessed he is an amazing young man and was the most fabulous baby and toddler too:-) hugs Jan xx

That sounds so very nice. My youngest son moved home right before this pandemic started.

He flew the nest when he went to uni and then worked in London but has now come back to roost for the foreseeable future - many of the kids on the island have done the same... proof there is no place like home:-) hugs Jan xx

Beautifully done, and when they do leave home you can say "I did a terrific job!" because that is one of the ultimate goals of a parent- to enable them to recruit the skills necessary to leave home.

He is back home during lock down, but will be off back to London probably when it is safe to do so, having him home safe is the bestest thing ever!:-) hugs jan xx

very touching, jan! sometimes it's hard to reconcile our grown-up kids with those tiny beings who once lived inside of us...

with son home at the moment we've been reminiscing about how he was when he was little, got to say he was a dream baby and he is the best son anyone could wish to have ... of course I am a little biased!! hope you are all well:-) hugs Jan xx

No matter how old they get, how big they get, where they go or what they do they will always be our baby. Great stuff Jan. POTD material in my book. God Bless and stay well. JB

A lovely tribute to motherhood Jan, you must be so proud. Glad he's there with you as its not quite over yet, another 351 deaths yesterday in the UK. Tom

He is so much safer here in so many ways Tom, glad the death rate is slowing in the UK - we have not had any in quite a few weeks and only 1 new case in 5 days so its looking promising but we can't be complacent, hope all is well with you and the family:-) hugs Jan xx
