Dear Child of Mine

Dear Child of Mine,

I said a little prayer,

Prayed to God you were there,

About myself I never did care,

Well today I got a wee scare!

Tonight I cuddle you tight,

And whisper sleep babe, keep fight,

This day brought hope and light,

Put an end to my miserable plight.

Little one, I love you so soon,

I thank the angels above the moon,

I never thought I would see this afternoon,

You are a beautiful human in a safe cocoon.

So grow, kick lively and grow,

Mum will not be blue and low,

If anything she has a bright glow,

Because in coming you were oh so slow!

Note at end reads; Son/Daughter, I love you and wish you well x
