a poem to my newborn first grandson, Lucas...

On March, 2013, we got the best gift in the world: our first grandchild... a boy named Lukas. The picture is of him the day after he was born. We intend to spoil him rotten.

I hold an angel close to me -- 

His head upon my arm -- 

Pretending I protection be -- 

Him keeping free from harm.

But as we are -- I see there is 

No safety in this room -- 

Compared to comfort once was his -- 

Inside dear mother's womb.

guess there is no safer place than in the womb sheltered by a mother's love.

Jacob, thank you for reading the poem and commenting; I so love this baby I can't begin to tell you. I have already written three poems by way of him -- and I think there are more to come. It's grand being a grandpa. Hope all is well and thanks again. --David

Thanks, Ed, for your warm welcome! Lucas and I dig it! I know he'll listen to me because I'll tell him what he needs to hear: the truth. I love him so. Hope all is well with you and yours. --David
