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 know my love will follow you no matter where you go
Written for my nephew Leighton Atkinson.
