You were such

a little guy,

with such a

big strong cry.

I held you close

in just one hand.

Everything else

just fell like sand.

I fed you as your

mother healed.

I couldn’t believe

that this was real.

You slept so sweetly

in my arms.

I knew I’d always

keep you from harm.

Your mom and I

had tried for years.

And there you were,

I choked back tears.

I knew right then,

the Father’s love.

We held you son,

Thank God above.

You came into

the world anew,

Your little smile

left us renewed.

Welcome to the world,

little one.

Mommy and Daddy love you.
