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.
