Notes About The Poem

Loveliness

Looking at your misshapen little red face,
only a mother can appreciate the beauty when seeing her
very precious baby for the first time. 
Eyes filled with happy tears as I
looked at your blonde hair and blue eyes and
inspected your tiny little fingers and toes.
Never had I seen a more beautiful child –
everything about you was simply perfect!
Soon you were sleeping peacefully,
safe in the arms of your adoring mother.

I can't think of anything lovlier than a new born baby. My oldest never cried, they bathed her and put her next to me in a clear bassinet and she smiled. She was content in her new surroundings. I loved your poem and the photo. I hope it is a top winner! #7 ; )
