Charles Messina Poet Etheree

Daughters

The wonderful sounds of cries when their born 
The happy tears we shed at first sight 
A newborn daughter we'll cherish 
For life and for evermore 
To watch her live and grow 
To watch her marry 
And hopefully 
When time comes 
To give 
Birth

FJ Thomas February 28, 2025 at 2:11 PM I have three, I can definitely identify with this one Charles... although we are okay if they decide children are not for them. I hope you've been okay :)
