Parents On P Plates : Family Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann



We were happy enough, me and the wife, 

then along came the miracle of life .

Our first child was born right before our eyes .

Honoured , so honoured .

Blessed, so blessed .

Surprised beyond belief what love had given us .

Each day I look at him . It's just too much .

Yes, he's really there .

Yes, it's true .

Your little son is looking back at you .

Daddy's my new name now , and I've a son .

Mummy's now my wife .

New things have begun for both of us .

Things we never did before ,

we're learning to do .

He's opened the door .

Bringing up his wind after feeding time .

 

Hanging dozens of nappies on the line .

It's a joy to be in such constant need .

I see the bond of a two hourly feed

grow more day by day .

Proud parents are we

to have been blessed by God with our baby .

Regular hugs bring a gleam to his eye .

He's cute , so cute .

It's beaut to hear him cry .

I know everybody wants a nurse ,

but he's so special to us .

He's our first .

Since he's come home he's taken over the show .

We love him so much ,

it's hard to let go .

As far as love goes,

it's thumbs up  we've passed .

As parents on P plates we're learning fast .
