Your words convey the wonder of the existence of this child.
Your words convey the joy in a mother’s heart; the joy of her baby’s being and the joy that God has given her this baby to care for in these days before she grows into herself…into you.
Your words convey the reflection that we are all babies, all children of God, all made in His image.
God is poetic, for words cannot convey the love that you have for your baby, or the love that God has for you.
For poetry conveys the song of the heart.
And in that, you have conveyed love.
Thanks for that blessing!

I love how you describe poetry as “putting words together you like.” That is exactly what poetry should be. And the baby is simply edible.

In reply to Lucinda J. Go back and look at the child’s nose, then you too can understand!

In reply to Lori Hershberger.

I hadn’t, but I did just now. And yes, I can see the resemblance. I like it! My favorite line is his “three cornered smile” because Annalise has a smile exactly like that–a little triangle.

This makes me think of George MacDonald’s “Where did you come from baby dear?” Have you read it?

Yes.
You capture the wonder of it.
