My First Baby

The doctor said you are pregnant my dear A baby growing under my heart, oh so near A flurry of emotions that my heart went through A baby, oh my what will I say, what will I do I am not sure I am ready for this test What if I fail? What if I don't do my best? The days go by and they sure do fly One minuteI 'm happy, the next I cry Oh what is the I suddenly utter? It's a small but significant flutter You are moving, kicking and growing Soon I can't hide you I will be showing It won't be long now the doctor tells me Oh how happy I will be when your face I first see The pains I feel will all be long forgotten When I hold you in this blanket of cotton Your cries will be the sweetest thing I hear Oh baby, its getting oh so near, Oh so near They say push and I all but shout One more push and then you are out Tears of joy run down my face Nothing baby can ever take your place My darling baby girl, I kiss your cheek You open your eyes of blue to take a peek The years go by and you grow up fast Only if I could make them last and last Your first kiss and sweet sixteen The most beautiful teenage queen Graduation and off on your own Oh my how lovely you have grown You met the man who makes your heart sing He asked you, you said yes and took his ring marriage vows said before family and friends This is not the ending , it is where it all begins a baby of your own some day, you will see Just how much you still mean to me
