My daughter is expecting a new little one in May. I had hoped to be able to write a poem for this grandchild as I did for big sister, Brie, and Will & Emily's, Jules. Today the idea came together. I don't think my daughter likes rhyming poems, but perhaps she'll appreciate this one.
Treasure Within a Treasure
Where are you my well
loved child?
Treasure within a
treasure.
Deep within your daughter’s womb
Almost too small to measure.
What do you do there
in the dark?
How do you spend your
hours?
Growing and changing cell by cell,
designed by God’s own powers.
What do you think of
while you wait,
when the whole world’s
unseen?
My world is in your daughter’s womb,
that is what fills my dreams.
When will I see my
grandchild’s face?
Who tells you when to
go?
I do not choose the time or place.
That is for God to know.
I will wait patiently
then, babe,
dreaming of you with
pleasure
safe in the womb of
my firstborn,
treasure within a
treasure.
Talented you are. This is GOOD
