Little One

Little one, little one
Who will you become?
Tiny infant in my arms
Embodiment of charm!

Oh, the dreams I have for you,
Transfixed upon this life anew.
A masterpiece, this miracle
Who’ll alter lives and through it all:

Your life will be a wondrous tale
Your journey here, has just set sail.
Cherish life, as days fly swift
Pause to ponder, life, the gift.

I love you little one, little one.
My greatest blessing, yea bar none.
Such tender coos, little sounds
yet in my heart are great resounds:

Glory, glory, glory!

Hi Deb! Although I am old enough to have a grandchild, it was written about my daughter and son. Thank you for taking time to write. I very much appreciate it. :-)
