Beautiful Blessing

My firstborn's face was ever beautiful,
and, try as it might, nothing will compare.
Its light has my heart--indisputable!
A blessing I try to share with great care.
With awe, I find new blessings in the air

This is truly a beautiful write and tribute, Ann. Unfortunately, in the 3rd and 5th lines. the rhyming was off or for sure this would have placed higher. Anyway, just want to say Congratulations on your placement in my contest. Hugs Charlie

Thanks, Michelle. It's something we mothers never forget, I believe. I can't even try to imagine the torn heart of one who gives her baby up.

Was it named, "Beau" or "Belle"? Breath-taking experience worthy of winning!

Beau (Marc) :) I had two others just as inspiring and wish they were small again. Thanks, Rico. Good to hear from you!
