Congratulations to all! What a happy day. You must be so happy. Here is a little poem to commemorate the occasion. It's by Jill Eisnaugle.
A newborn child with eyes so bright You fill the world with much delight Your heart is kind; your smile is sweet You are a joy to those you meet Formed in the palm of God’s own hand Your destiny appears quite grand Although, your path is just begun Your future shines, just like the sun.
As moments pass, your soul will grow To learn things that you did not know You’ll rise above; you’ll make mistakes You’ll fall in love; your heart will break Yet, through it all, you will remain A link within your family’s chain Whose bond shall strengthen over time Despite the mountains you must climb.
A newborn child with eyes so bright You are, indeed, a wondrous sight Your skin is soft; your features small But, you are loved by one and all I know tears fell from cherubs’ eyes As they embraced you with goodbyes Before you flew from high above To grace us with God’s gift of love.
Thanks you two, and Tim, I love, love, LOVE that poem. Thank you so much for sharing it. That's a definite keeper for next April's National Poetry Month posts!
With all the storms and evil we see in the world today, it is gifts like this that keep our eyes and hearts focused on God's greatest blessings.. ...thanks to Heather also...Love Hb

Those little newborn hands and arms are the best! Next to newborn bums and toes! : )

A newborn child with eyes so bright
You fill the world with much delight
Your heart is kind; your smile is sweet
You are a joy to those you meet
Formed in the palm of God’s own hand
Your destiny appears quite grand
Although, your path is just begun
Your future shines, just like the sun.
As moments pass, your soul will grow
To learn things that you did not know
You’ll rise above; you’ll make mistakes
You’ll fall in love; your heart will break
Yet, through it all, you will remain
A link within your family’s chain
Whose bond shall strengthen over time
Despite the mountains you must climb.
A newborn child with eyes so bright
You are, indeed, a wondrous sight
Your skin is soft; your features small
But, you are loved by one and all
I know tears fell from cherubs’ eyes
As they embraced you with goodbyes
Before you flew from high above
To grace us with God’s gift of love.
