    I must confess to you that writing is emotional for me. I have no idea why my writing is more emotional than most other areas of my life. As you may guess, Brelynn is more emotional to me than most of my writings! So it?s with a special sense of appreciation that I thank you for your wonderful five star review. It?s only been the last couple of years that I have attempted to write because I?ve never been encouraged to do so. I want to thank you so very much for your kind words of support, and the gentle words of correction. I need both to help make me the kind of writer with broad appeal. May God bless you!

This is a nice poem about the coming of a grand daughter. The story can be sort of pieced together. A couple was told they couldn't conceive, but did. Your notes have answered some questions I had. Happy grand-parenting!

Oh I just love the art work that goes with this poem. It complements well the message of a baby about to be born, the joyous event for first time parents and the expectant happiness on the part of grandparents. I enjoyed reading this feel-good poem. God bless.

Hello, author. I wish you well in the contest with this emotionally penned writing. Yes, becoming a granparent islike starting life all over again. I know from five-time experience.

I liked this stanza in particular:

"At this point it's pins and needles,
arrival could be any day.
As a family we unite,
asking God to bless you. We pray!"

Just a note. From experience, I can tell you that putting words in bold type usually has the opposite effect on the reader. It takes away from the natural flow of the poem.

Blessings and good luck.

Thank you for your thoughts.

Oh, how sweet she will be loved, I can see that, and quite the little miracle.
I have a grandson who is now 2 and his name is Breyden, & he too is a miracle baby as my son, the army told my son that he was sterile, & at 37 yrs old it was his first child, unexpected, but he always wanted to be a father, & be married like he is, & wife had many complications during the pregnancy...And Breyden now is a healthy toddler.

The only thing that I found was that the first line has 7 syllables, instead of 8 , though I think you can fix that with no problem, or possibly keep it that way. Also being it's a true poem I would list it as biographical.

Best Wishes for your great entry & too for a healthy delivery for your daughter and your granddaughter....and write another poem after Brelynn is born, when you have a chance.

What a lovely piece that expresses the multitude of experiences and emotions encountered in the gestational period. There is an underlying theme of an utter trust in the wishes of the lord and his decision pertaining to the fate of this child. I congratulate you for being such a proud grandparent.
Lovely flow.
Jo :-)

First off...congratulations!! What a job little ones are. It's amazing how such a tiny being can bring so much love, joy, happiness...isn't it? I have 2 and I don't know, now, how I lived a day before them!!! Ok sorry...got a bit off there...

This poem is lovely. It flows beautifully! The rhyming is on point and never seems forced. What a wonderful tribute to that lucky little girl. Good luck and prayers with you and your family! xoLeslie
