Teething

Chomp 

Chomp

Chomp 

On that toy

Dribble

Dribble

Dribble

Down your vest

Cry 

Cry 

Cry

You have no joy

Soothe

Soothe

Soothe

I try my best

Peanut Butter M&Ms

Got given these today and they are just wonderful. My friend came back from America and bought them for me. They are such a special treat.

My chocolate boy even makes an appearance but he isn't going anywhere near them!

Things I Hold Dear

I want to wrap you in my arms and hold you tight 

To take a deep breath and let your smell fill my nostrils with all its might

I want your smile to brighten my day

It always makes the rain clouds go away

I listen to the softness of your breath as you sleep

Your little chest rises and falls and makes me want to weep

Your smile is one that is secret to us

Your eyes glisten as we chat with fairy dust

You are part of my soul

I love you, you make me whole 

Parent Envy

Does your baby sleep through the night? 

Well of course she does

Does your baby cuddle you tight?

Well of course he does

Does your baby roll over and over?

Well of course she does

Is your baby already a little rover? 

Well of course he is

Is your baby walking? 

Well of course she is

Is your baby talking? 

Well of course he is

Does your baby drive yet? 

Well they are only a week old so not quite yet

The future

With every kiss and cuddle I give you

I wonder who you will become?

Will you become a great inventor 

Who invents the next best thing 

Will you become a scientist 

Who cures the world from disease

Will you become an aid worker 

Who helps people in need

Will you become a businesswoman 

Who strives for perfection 

Will you become an artist 

Who paints the world in her own image 

With every kiss and cuddle I simply hope that you will be happy and healthy and full of smiles

My first post

About me

Since I was a young lady I have always liked writing small poems. Pretty terrible stuff. My dad is a great poet. Like him this is only for personal pleasure.

I thought it would be fun to start sharing my work with others. I am a sensitive person so please be nice. I am not holding myself out to be the next Carol Ann Duffy or William Wordsworth.
