Even when
your baby sleeps
make her no promise
that you can't keep
Loving things are
meant when said
but rendered lies
by what's ahead
Do not think
your words too deep -
that knowledge fails
as she is weak
Her spirit life
is wide awake,
records all things,
make no mistake
Keep your peace
withhold that vow
lest words return
to haunt you

I used to play the boring bit in fantasier to my ex before seb, during her pregnancy, until I ;last saw him it was his fav' part of the film, then of course came love of dinosaurs. We saw many in forest, but they soon hid....honest son if you read this:)
Just great Kate....I have read that playing
classical music nearby while bearing a child
effects the unborn in some positive way...
my friend did that..and today her baby loves
listening to classical music..she seems to
recognize and react to it...wonderful write...

Oh...how...TRUE!
Even the Bible records incidents of children "hearing" and
retaining words heard, while they were yet "in the belly" of
their mother.
A wise poem indeed!
