Transient Joys by marge.

Transient Joys by marge.

The relief and pride on a mothers

Face when she holds her baby

For the first time.

The happy gurgle from that baby

When they discover they have toes

For the first time.

Those first few hesitant steps

Wobbling across the carpet

To daddy for the first time.

The first day at nursery or school

You know no one and nothing

Maybe leaving mummy

For the first time.

School days pass in a whirr

Lessons, homework, friends

New things, new places

Then its work or University

For the first time.

Life gets more exciting,

Boyfriends, girlfriends

Loosening the bonds of home

Gap years, holidays, travel

For the first time.

Meeting that special person,

Love blossoming, moving in together

Marriage, that wonderful exciting

First day, sharing for the first time.

So, the circle of life progresses,

Pregnancy, thoughts of parenthood

All those thoughts, hopes and plans

Shared for the first time.
