plant tiny seed
in garden womb
grow like a weed
till out of room
when time is ripe
birth little sprout
stem stretches tall
leaves wave about
water with LOVE
nurture strong roots
let sun chase gloom
wait for the fruits
watch child bloom!

I LOVE this! Our son-in-law is a successful composer….mostly choral music but much of it accompanied by orchestra. One of his pieces was sung by the Air Force Chorale at the HW Bush funeral. I thought, given what you’ve written here….you might appreciate this piece of his. He composed it upon the birth of his and my daughter’s first child, our first grandchild. I hope you can access it here. Just click on the link https://youtu.be/hJbfEqYNs40?si=8CjZ1Tc9xXzxjBm-
If the link doesn’t work for you, go to You Tube and search for More Love by Kevin Siegfried. OR just google More Love by Kevin Siegfried. I feel certain you will love it given what you’ve written here.
