Guest Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 (edited) Hi all My sister and her partner had their first baby last week - a gorgeous little boy. As a Christmas present for them i have taken a black and white photo of his feet and was going to mount it with a poem i had about following in parents footsteps However when i have read the poem it refers only to daddy's footsteps. Does anyone know of another poem which might be suitable Thanks Lola Edited December 11, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panders Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Are they particularly religious the parents. There is a poem about footsteps on a beach, and something along the lines of when there were only one set of footprints to be seen that was when The Lord was carrying them during difficult times. can't remember it, as you can tell, but I know where I can get a copy!

HappyMaz Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Not sure whether you're looking for something profound or 'cute' but it did remind me of a thread about a poem for children leaving pre-school which was all about footsteps going through life. You might be able to adapt it... have a look at this thread here. I think this is such a lovely idea and a really original one. Good luck in finding just the right words to accompany the image!

HappyMaz Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 There is a poem about footsteps on a beach I did wonder about this one too - here's a link to the text which gives copyright to Margaret Powers. Maz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 CHILDREN_LEARN_WHAT_THEY_LIVE.docxCHILDREN_LEARN_WHAT_THEY_LIVE.docxThis poem was given to me from my lovely headteacher at school when I had my first child. It made me cry! but I think it says everything about being a good parent (and teacher!) Hope you like it NikkiMac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inge Posted December 12, 2009 Share Posted December 12, 2009 while searching for the above poem I also found this.. Of all the joys that lighten suffering earth, what joy is welcomed like a newborn child? Dorothy L. Nolte Children learn what they live. this is for those of us who dont have latest version of word so cannot download one above...
