I was touched when a friend asked me to write a poem about the arrival of her grandchild. Touched because although I am a daughter I am neither a Mother or Grandmother and it meant a lot that she valued my ability to poetically empathise with a sentiment that I had not directly experienced. I had plenty of stuff to draw on it turned out and penned the following lines.
Adoration
A tiny part of me lies there
in awe I stand admiring
Those baby fingertips, that stare
transfixing and inspiring
A newfound love beyond all words
It’s like infatuation
The world around becoming blurred
My life’s continuation
A secret door inside unlocks
Your purity disarms me
You melt the places I feel blocked
To hold you close, it calms me
I want the very best for you
You fill me with elation
Oh baby girl, I feel so moved
