Princess
Photographs in black and white
Show patterns in soft blankets
Of the precious princess wrapped
And tucked in with love.
Fountain hairstyle classic touch
With “oohs” and “aahs”
When dimples and smiles appear
To faces circling from above.
Months scouring and scanning
Books bought and borrowed
Searching meanings for
The tiny princess new.
Worries all forgotten
From illness and complication
Then intake of food concoctions
As the little princess grew.
Effort, pain and panic
All faded memories in the moment
When arrival of the princess
Was the only focus had.
So perfect are your features
And defenceless in your innocence
and dependent on your servants
Proud to be Sarah’s Dad.
