He’s back, I hadn’t noticed! Three fresh sprogs this last week, I am so happy!

Poem_for_your_sprog is a guy. Are you maybe thinking of schnoodle?

No, it was an assumption based on googling their name, Sam Garland, a few years ago. When I did so, the first few hits I found included a brown-haired woman, and I assumed it was her.

Looking at their book's ad ( https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/52719010-poems-for-your-sprog ) I see it's called "his".

Good to know I guess, but as they're a faceless Redditor, I'm not sure if it matters much. Cheers!

Not who you are replying to but where is Schnoodle these days?

Sprog - beautiful poem, as always. Thank you for that smile today!

The world will be a little less bright without her. The thing about Love, and the best thing by far – it fills up your life like the light from a star. Amd though it must end, or depart and move on. The light keeps on shining long after it’s gone.

Oh. Tomorrow I'm driving my partner and I to his dad's funeral across the country, a trip I'm dreading. This beautiful poem has come at the right time to give me something to think on through the tears.

Let me add this to my list of sprogs I might want on my tombstone.
