Cherish This Time

( CHERISH THIS TIME )

So your baby is here,
what joy and what pleasure.
Now your life is expanding,
to make room for this treasure.

A darling newcomer,
to have and to hold.
Her (His) smiles are more precious,
than silver or gold.

She'll (He'll) demolish your schedule,
though she's helpless and small.
She'll make her needs known,
and she'll rule over all.

See, a new parent's work,
is just never quite done.
But you'll never mind,
cause it's all so much fun.

When you hear her cute giggle,
you'll start aahing and oohing.
And she'll soon reply back,
by ga ga and goo gooing.

Those big innocent eyes,
see a world strange and new.
To make sense of it all,
she'll look only to you.

So cherish this time,
of miraculous things.
The excitement and wonder,
that a new baby brings.
