Background
Poems by Geoff Moore (Sankey)
|
No one understands
a would-be Mother's heart.
Her desire to be a part
of that tenderness and the
softness of a little baby's 'feel'
The presence of a little life,
in whom to place her zeal.
Skipping Mother's Days and Father's Days
'tis sorrow to attend.
Because to be a part of these,
our sadness would not end.
There are the "Baby Show'rs" we miss
or feel left out, no bliss,
the yearning, longing emptiness,
without a baby's kiss.

There was a lovely photo I had from Fan Art but my wife brought this little cardigan in to show me today and I felt it should be used. She knitted this cardigan as a teenager to give to her own baby some day.
