Welcome To the World

Welcome to the world dear one and to our home of love - We know you have been sent to us 
by our Father up above - For nine long months I carried you safe inside of me - Now as I 
hold you in my arms what a miracle I see - I see your tiny hands and feet - Your eyes so 
bright and clear - I feel the love you have to give when I hold you near - One day I'll have to 
let you go and watch you learn to fly - Then I'll look up above the clouds and see you soaring 
high - Of course you can't start out that way - You'll have to take it slow - But God and I will 
follow you no matter where you go.

beautiful tribute to the newborn, I wish we had a new baby on the way.
