Hello Son - First Kiss Contest

They stood there holding hands Young faces wrinkled with worry Their little boy was born too early Neo natal unit now held the key Their son was in a hurry to be born Couldn't wait the allotted time Now so fragile, their hearts were torn No hug or kiss was theirs to claim Two long weeks they waited At his cotside prayers were held Christen him Michael they had stated So the priest did as they had said Next morning the nurses smiled Michael 's battle was over and won They could hold their baby at last That first kiss, said hello son. Penned 28 July 2013 [True story]. Read notes please

How beautiful! This one is definitely a winner. My twins were born premature, I remember the long two week and three day wait to be able to hold them and take them home. You wonderfully described the patience of love.

Wow what a story of perseverance, to hold on to life and to receive that first kiss finally! That is so cool that you were their midwife! I bet you were just as worried as the parents were, well almost anyway! This is a tremendous poem about their love for him and their dedication for life! What a lovely piece, such an outstanding poem, Great Work!!
