A Gleam in the Eye: Poems for a First Baby - Softcover
This tender book chronicles the aspirations of a hopeful couple as they share in the anticipation and anxiety of pregnancy, the pain, amazement, and pride of delivery, and the wonderment and joy of watching their first child's development from conception to age one, including her birth and homecoming, her visits with grandparents, and her first gestures and attempts at crawling, walking, and talking. Anyone who is a parent, or about to become one, will appreciate this incredibly loving, heartfelt look at "the glory and the dream" of early childhood.
