| Newborn in blanket by Bonnie Gruenberg |
Golden, soft, gentle, innocent,
safe in liquid amnii,
in utero.
Listen to my heart beat,
it beats for you,
it longs for you
Come
be my world.
be my world.

My special present this year will be that of the gift of a new life –
the life of my first grandchild. Seems
he is a bit of a procrastinator – must be an ‘in the genes’ thing – as he is a
little late of his due date. Ah well, he
will come into this world when he is ready.
I really can’t wait! Thank you my
lovely first son and dear daughter-in-law for my soon to be present – can’t
wait to hug him and kiss his soft warm cheeks and gift him with my love, my
heart (forever). Oh precious little thing – hurry up!
Have a wonderful Christmas everyone!
Thanks to Karin at dVerse~Poets Pub for today’s prompt of 'The Poetics of Presents/ce' and many thanks to all the good folk who hosted there throughout this year.

Ohh... the best present ever. Congratulations. Maybe he'll come on Christmas! I hope you have a very merry one, Anna.
Awww... we are in no mistake about how excited (and a little) impatient you are.. there is something about the smell of new born babes that is so special. It's a unique, 'new' smell that is a smell unlike any other. So special.
Hope he arrives soon. Blessings to you and to yours and your new grandson.
congratulations - what a moment that will be!

Oh, I envy you, Anna! A first grandchild is wonderful (mine came three at once, and are still wonderful). Have a very special Christmas.
Congrats
nice one.
btw, Your comment on my post
well, thats the challenge to be perfect and near Him in His qualities and knowledge. To blame self and give Him credit keeps you engaged to hit success every action and thought and yet remain pure
awwww this is wonderful.
all the best for you and your family!
I don't envy you at all. My daughter is 10 years-old.
:-)
Seriously though -- how exciting. Best wishes.
Anna! Congratulations! A baby is the most exciting present. :)
Thank you for your kind comments folks.
The little one is still biding his time...

Very touching, heartfelt, evocative piece. I like that you don't shy away from mentioning utero or amniotic fluid, and somehow these medical terms don't detract from the poetry or warmth of the piece. Congratulations on you Grandmotherhood! Have a wonderful Christmas my friend
