Blissful Touch

28.07.07

Your most tender-leaf touches

And peppermint stings,

Feather my tummy

As dinner approaches.

Your playful nudges

Do wonders to my belly -

Makes me want to touch

And feel you close to me.

If your mystique existence

Can affect me so,

What your actual presence can bring for me,

Is a feeling I’d love to know.

Now your fingers must be

Hardly a little inch.

Your eyes still shut inside,

But aware of every pinch.

You kick to your hearts content,

And squirm inside mummys cot,

While you prepare yourself to meet us all,

You’ll fight your little way out.

Oh tender, cute and sweetest love-

Mummy’s gentle hand can you feel?

As I place my arm on my belly

After a heavy meal?

Can you hear my gentle melodies,

Or the lullabies that daddy whispers?

Tell me with a nudge or a little kick

Is it dad’s or my  song you prefer!

Mum and dad wait day after day.

To hold you in their arms

As they dote with rose-colored eyes at you

Or relish your baby charms.

Our bundle of joy, our absolute wonder

Our sweetheart you will be,

You’ll be showered with love and affection

Which on our faces you’ll see.

Every smallest movement now you make,

Every steady inner clutch

Its your presence that will be felt always,

With that small, yet blissful touch.
