So New

I've waited for you my whole life
and finally you are here.

What wonders you contain within,
child of mine most dear.

Your soft skin and yet softer hair,
tiny fist and big blue eyes.

Sweet baby scent and sweet, sweet smile
with little dimpled thighs.

You cuddle close and gently nurse
while sleep makes your eyes close.

So new and just beginning,
as so unfurls a rose.
