A New Arrival

A child is born - it's time to rejoice.
Let our Spirits be light as we lift up our voice.
A child so tender and full of life.
Protected from pain and this world's strife.

A mind free to learn and grow.
As our gifts to you we now bestow.
We look in your eyes and see a smile.
Postponing our worries for a little while.

The way you giggle and wiggle around.
Touches our heart where love does abound.
You're a treasure more precious than gold.
And truly a wondrous pleasure to hold!
