My unexpected but very welcome newest grandson.

A tiny being, A huge event

A gift of love, A baby "meant"

 

This child born into the night

Has finally set their world aright

Rare are miracles (so people think)

Yet there he is all new and pink

 

He lies there all wrapped in blue

His eyes of brown glance around the room

For now content, yet later he'll cry

And there Mom will be, Dad by her side

 

Happy and proud, a Family they'll be

As night turns to day

The precious ones sleep

beautifully penned windy.. you bring to light family values in such a manner that your words embrace the reader
in way of expressing what it means to be cherished..as you love those close to your heart.. this writing paints
a picture in detail.. texture.. showing the treasured moments of looking at something as wonderful as a newborn welcomed to the family.. and what a joyous experience to behold in all subtly.. such things tend steal the
moment in blissfulness..this writing has a lulling effect in thought. Nicely penned

This is a joyful read, it made me grin and smile... that's what words are supposed to do.. so, you won me over by the end of the second line.

The subject of course, is a winner, the emotions are delightful, it's a gem.

As the reader below says, we all learn about the technicalities as we go along. Read published books, read other people's work on here... it all comes eventually. In the meantime, play with styles - if you want, then use whatever you're most comfortable using.

Thank you for sharing such happiness.

It is a cute poem :) I like the way that it is simple but a lot is said with a few sentences. I enjoyed reading it! Thank you for sharing :)
