Your tiny dark blue eyes opened
to the new of day,
as I touched with one finger
your delicate and perfect little face-
With grunts and groans you stretched
to life-
Oh child of mine; Oh child you are,
my amazing grace.

I reached in and scooped you up,
from your cradle soft-
and knew I held within my arms,
an awesome miracle of God-
I took you to my breast to feed,
on the nourishment of a Mother's love-
stroked and coddled your gentleness,
'til you began to nod.

Humming lullabies sweet and low,
no words were needed here-
The moment was for silent splendor,
in peacefulness upon your ear-
And there you lay against my chest,
as I watched you safely sleep-
Oh child of mine I pray this morn-
sweet dreams are yours to keep.
