Newborn grace

Little child, meek and mild, cherub form, sweetest smile. Small fingers, tiny toes, eyes wide in awe-filled glow, and one cute, button nose. Little child, meek and mild, bear onesie, matching mits. Oh my babe, tender kin, my sweet, angelic thing, with soft hands, velvet skin. Little child, meek and mild, so peacefully sleeping. Golden wisps of hair frame, such precious innocence, whom God has called by Name. Little child, meek and mild, what joy there is to come. Rest my child, my child rest. For soon you'll be grown, and shall leave my loving nest. 01.02.2024

Thank you! I really appreciate it. I was just trying to bend the creative mind, and remember a brighter time, my work in the NICU. Precious are all the lil' ones - blessings Lottie

Thank you, Emile. It's really a blessing to hear! I'm sure you've been over-generous in my ranking but truly delighted and happy to be back to the site after sometime away. Thankyou for the creative contest and form choice. Best wishes, Charlotte

Thanks Sara. Really means a lot. - trying to get back on track after a hard year. - (the right words can calm even the most solemn soul) - and newborns were my past and hopefully future. - would be nice to work in neonates again. - best job and life ever! - blessings C
