What a moment! What a day!
One you will remember in every way.
A divine little bundle of joy is now yours
Who to a whole new world opens the door.
Someone so precious, so beautiful, so unique,
Who from you will love, comfort and pleasure seek.
His/her desire is for now to be held secure and tight
And to be loved unquestioningly morning, noon and night.
S/he will bring you immeasurable pleasure and a sense of wonder and awe
That something so beautiful and delightful could ever be yours,
So look at him/her daily with loving eyes and share a parent's smile
For your life together starts here and goes on for many an amazing mile.
Tell him/her you love him/her whatever each day brings
For each word allows his/her heart to deeply and beautifully sing.
Reach out and give him/her in this moment a hug, cuddle and kiss
For every day for him/her should start just like this.
