Hannah

We have waited so long for you, Darling,

Our precious, beloved, newly born daughter.

We have given you the name of Hannah.



Do you like your given name, sweet Hannah? 

Your great-grandma wears it with pride, Darling.

She is longing to meet her granddaughter.



It is time now for sleep for our daughter.

We will sing a sweet lullaby, Hannah,

As welcome to our world for our darling.



Darling daughter, Hannah, we love you so.

This lovely, melancholy poem, just makes my heart melt with the lovingly way you have expressed such endearments for this child. My darling niece, recently had a baby girl who they have named "Hannah"...she is so beautiful, this poem captured my own feelings of love! Lovely, Joyce !
