A Warm Welcome To Aimee

I cried along with you when I heard on the phone Your first cries as you made yourself known With little fists flying and a voice to be heard You let everyone know, you would not be deferred. With angelic eyes and a cute little nose You were pink and rosy, right down to your toes Everyone cooing, laughing and yes a tear too For the new life and blessing on your day of debut. With a head full of hair the color of fawn Born in the morning just before dawn You visited awhile and then went out like a light An angel needs rest to shine that bright. So welcome Aimee Michelle, we’ve waited so long To have you with us; to hear your life song Never doubt for a moment how much you are loved You are our blessing that God sent from above. *To my son who lost a son last year but was blessed last night with a daughter. I couldn't be there due to illness so I only got to hear her first cries over the phone.
