Tiny One

I found this little poem in a local newspaper.
It was inserted on a page with baby photos sent in by proud parents to celebrate new births in their family for the year 2010.
I think it is beautiful! It simply took my eye!
Hope it is enjoyed by many readers.

Margaret.


Tiny One

How very often I have dreamed
A world of perfect bliss
To be the mother of a boy
Or of a tiny miss.
To hold its tiny hands in mine
To count its tiny toes
And when to place a tiny kiss
Upon its tiny nose.
To hold it very close to me
Warm against my breast
To gaze into its tiny face
Sleeping and at rest.
Oh, what would be more perfect
Or what could hold more bliss,
Than to be the mother of a boy
Or of a tiny miss.
