You, My Little One

You were planned from the start
You, my little one 
Treasured deep in our hearts 

A precious gift from heaven above 
You, my little one 
Have our undying love 

Feeling you move brings us great joy 
You, my little one 
Our precious baby boy 

I pray every day God keeps you safe 
You, my little one 
I pray you find his grace 

Be calm, my darling, it's time to rest 
You, my little one 
In my womb, your own tiny nest 

My arms long to hold you, to feel you wiggle 
You, my little one 
To tickle your toes, to hear you giggle 

I long to gaze into your newborn eyes 
You, my little one 
I would give my life

Alesia, how rich and deep your precious and poetic ponder. When I see the face of a little child it's as if I'm staring into the face of God!

Oh Alesia, the breathtaking beauty and love expressed in your poem took my breath away and moved me to heartfelt tears of elation - oh how I remember feeling what your tender words so lovingly describe when I was expecting each of my little ones.. Exquisite poetry that I felt deep down inside. Warmest wishes my lovely friend.. ~Susan
