I dug this out for Eileen - a new Grandmother.

The Nativity - Feb 5th 1989 (1989)

(Remembering the birth of my oldest son - Damien.)

I watched you and had to swallow

My heart from crashing to the floor

Swaddled in my trembling hands

You taught me humility.

I froze the moment

Away from care and time.

I watched you grow each night

In the trashing of your bath.

I had lived to see

The greatest wonder of the world.
