Geboortegedichtje: ‘Wij hebben zo naar jou verlangd’

Wilt u Vivian komen zien
druk of draai dan eerst de tien

— ingezonden door Brigitte Giesbers

Ons kindje is geboren
met dat éne chromosoompje extra
dat maakt dat zij heel bijzonder is
lief en vol geheimenis

— Ina Sipkes de Smit

Little fingers curl up to make a tiny fist
as fairy lips purse out as if to make a gentle
kiss
Eyes wide as a kitten's, and little button nose
you look like someone's angel, down to your
pudge toes
Although you are so wrinkled and your face is
still so pale
and the only song you seem to know sounds like
a shrilling wail
When you are here before me, finally, I feel
complete
I've waited so long, sweetheart... at last, we
finally meet

One last road to travel
One last way to go
One more day to forever
Just to let you know
The wait is finally over
The journey now is through
And now this comes to let you know
Dreams really do come true
