I yearn to stand
and coorie him
kiss his milk full cheek
smell his untarnished skin
feel when I held his father too
I yearn to stand 
and comfort him to sleep
and sing the songs that 
Grannies have aye sung
the stories of our past
Yet gratitude fills my heart 
when we celebrate 
our precious boy
and experience the joy
he brings us all
And in a deep corner
of my heart I’m sad 
that I need to sit
the watcher from the chair
trying to hide her grief
