Beneath Her Pretty Dress

Before anyone gets any bright ideas, this is for my daughter who is expecting my first grandchild in July ..

Beneath Her Pretty Dress

Now isn’t that

truly something else

something

wonderful no less ..

While no longer

taught and flat

but lightly bowed

and more

convex perhaps ..

I hereby do confess

I am already

very much in love

with what has

just begun to show ..

But for now

at least, kept safe

and warm and hid ..

Beneath her

pretty summer dress ..

If only we can protect them like this, forever keeping them safe from harm. Such a lovely read, Nev. You are going to be a doting grandfather, I just know it! When in July is she due? What a thrill it is to be an expectant mother, for her as well as the family. Nothing compares to that first flutter of life inside you. Congrats, Daddio!

We'll expect to see some pictures! ; )

What an exciting time for you both Neville. with your recent news. The prospect of becoming grandparents is certainly a thrill. As is becoming a mother for your daughter, so much to think about and plan . It will change your lives completely and you will adore your grandchild and I know the little one will bring you both so much pleasure. Wishing your daughter a healthy, happy pregnancy with a safe delivery in July. Bet you can’t wait Neville. Such a happy, loving poem.

Has a first trimester sound to it, this one. May the process proceed without incident up to and including the introduction.

[Neville]

thank you John .. we are at 25 or 26 weeks so not far off approaching the third trimester .. this little scribble was penned days after we were informed but I was reluctant to post until just now .. cheers N :)

I saw this title and thought I just have to review that. And I was not disappointed. In the words of the immortal bard "NNNNNG!"

[Neville]

Henceforth, let it be known that there will always be a space on my page for a "NNNNNNG!" Thank you kindly Ken :)
