Charlottes Sonnet

Oh to feel the heartbeat
Of a new born baby child
Nestled there against your chest
While her mother smiled

Oh there’s nothing sweeter
Than a new love in your life
Brought into this world
By a loving man and wife

Oh there’s nothing better
Than the first time that I saw
My precious little grandchild
For I’m a new grandpa

I still feel her heart a beating
From the very first time meeting

There's nothing like a baby to bring out such tender feelings and you have expressed them well.
