And Then I Opened That Door


And Then I Opened That Door


My thoughts stir memories of that oak door
just down the hall upstairs, the second floor.

I gently opened it and peeked inside—
my beating heart filled up with hope and pride.

I stepped inside so slowly and aware
what I beheld—a gift beyond compare—

emotions swelled and tears filled up my eyes—
such joyous feeling I could not disguise.

So round and soft—oh what a lovely sight!
This vision filled my heart with pure delight!

Perfection, beauty, miracle in one—
my first grand-babe into my life had come.
