Something nice to lift our depression and take my blog out of the doldrums.

An arrival is expected,
A blessed little mite.
A tiny human being
Coming here tonight.

Something for us to treasure,
To nurture and adore.
To fold into our family,
Keep safe for evermore.

We cry when they are hurting,
Their antics make us laugh.
We worry when they are absent,
Can’t keep them by the hearth.

When finally standing in the Church,
To hear their wedding vows.
You can’t believe you’ve survived,
All those terrible teenage rows.
