To my daughter by Wendy G

   I look with love into your eyes

I see the pain you can't disguise

Offer my arms, comfort and care,

Hugs to help with the grief you bear.

         
     I look with love into your eyes,

 I see the hope … and yes, surprise

 A glad embrace, rejoicing too

 Your special news? A babe is due!



       I look with love into your eyes

 I see both joy and gladness rise

 I hold and bless this special one

 Most precious gift - new life's begun.



Writing Prompt
A kyrielle is made of quatrains (four lines) that rhyme (any rhyme scheme can be used). Each stanza (quatrain) has a line that repeats from the previous stanza. That line is usually the last line in the stanza, but it does not have to be. Each line is made up of eight syllables. There is no limit to the number of stanzas. A Kyrielle is usually made up of three or more stanzas. For this prompt, a minimum of three stanzas is required.

Author Notes
The pain and grief of miscarriage prompts the first stanza, the second is when pregnancy is confirmed and safe, the third stanza rejoices with the gift of a much-longed for child.
