I never expected I could ever feel this way
As you entered my world and announced I'm here to stay.
My little person so perfect, so amazing, so complete
From the hair on your head to the little pink toes on your feet.
I can't stop thinking what a miracle you are
And can't take my eyes off you, who has already become my little star.
I count my blessings that you are now here and completely mine
And I promise I am here to make sure all is fine.
I will do all in my power to provide everything you need
From your bottle to warmth, to a hug, to your feed.
I just can't believe how my heart pours out with unbelievable love
As your tiny hand clasps around my finger like the silk of a glove.
Your today is, and your tomorrow will be, my primary care
And I promise your burdens, hopes, fears and dreams I will help you bear.
For you have returned to me a laughing spirit and bought a twinkle to my eye
And have become the answer to my every question - who, when, where, what, how and why?
