hello
a new day
she is wistful
yet another tiny tot
will she be healthy and strong, this little one?
it’s Lily – that’s right, it’s your name, Lily
she holds her so very close
yearning, desperately
loving her
forever

The bond between mother and offspring – a mysterious and beautiful thing. We (all creatures) want success for our children and yet still worry haunts us. You captured that so beautifully with this poem….

We all have different fears when we see newborns. It is unfortunate for one reason or another that some… have a shorter time with us. Let’s hope Lily grows strong and healthy.
