Notes About The Poem

Hope Anew

Hope Anew

I try to keep the gloom at bay
While waiting for your precious birth.
Your beating heart in womb today
Spoke to my ears a wondrous mirth.

The winter wind is cold and brisk.
I’m keeping positive to quell
Fears you and mommy are at risk
In hospital where you must dwell.

Your mommy calls me ev’ry day.
To hear her voice gives me such cheer,
I’ve asked all angels in to pray
To keep both of you safe and near.

You are across the sea from me
Yet close in thought within my mind.
I will keep faith, and hope to see
That all my fears are soon behind.

I wait to welcome you in pink;
A blanket crocheted just for you.
Wish this humble poem I ink
Will give your mommy hope anew.

Your poem is beautiful and heart touching and it is my heart that goes out to you, your daughter and your granddaughter. Such a sad feeling washes over me as I read this and your replies to comments below. I have a granddaughter who is 1 1/2 and the cutest little kid I have ever seen. Sending prayers to you and your family.
