That loving Touch & Personnally Made.

Do you remember

As a child

your mother

would be knitting

or crocheting

making things

for a newborn

in the family.

Or for a relative,

as well as a close

friend.

And grandfather

and your

dad would be helping

making little toys from

wood. Let alone aid

building the crib and

sorting the Nursery out

for the new arrival if they

where asked or needed.

Nowadays everything

is so conveniently made

Nothing seems to be

handcrafted or done with

love like in those old days.

I remember the old cotton nappies

Diapers you would call them

in dear old U.S.A.

Instead of these

modern disposable ones.

And you would have a few

100% cotton ones and

be washing them.

Hanging them out to dry outside.

Clean and fresh 

ready to use

and then dirty

and doing it all

over again.

Aye those days things seemed so much purer and simpler but I doubt many people are as resourceful. I recall trying to stick to using cotton nappies but the pace of life and the temptation of convenience cancelled out more than the odd few for use at home. I like the nostalgia in this piece Dawn and the questions it asks of us. It reads well as a flowing free verse.

The good days dear Dawn. I went to be with every daughter after the birth of my grandchildren. Holding them. My greatest happiness. I watch the boys daily. My grandparent did the same for me. We need the old days again. Play board games and laughter. Thank you Dawn for sharing the amazing poetry.
