A Gift From Above
A tiny bundle of joy will rest in your arms one day,
The first moment when you hear his cry, when you gently wipe his
tears from his eyes,
Which gaze at you with trust and love. "So
tiny and perfect," you think as you
Breathlessly take in the
first precious sight of your newborn son. As your heart
Overflows with surpassing love, you cradle him close to you,
knowing your life is now
Made complete. Endless first moments
fill your days, bringing new meaning as you
Grow ever so closer
to your little one. The first smile, first coo, first laugh,
first
"I wuv you" sweeten each passing moment you share. The
first bath, first "squirt in the face," first "ma ma," will all
be bittersweet memories etched in the place in your heart
That
forever belongs to only him. And you will bring many firsts to
his life -
Imagine his gasp as he holds a puppy for the first
time, or his laughter as you play that
First game of peek-a-boo,
the first time he sees grass and sky and birds that fly, when
He
proudly makes his first mud pie, the first step that he takes,
the first crayola picture
He makes, the first candle he blows out
on his birthday cake. And soon your days
Will be filled with
soccer and T-ball, and seeing your baby grow up little by little,
Helping him discover who he someday wants to be, and you
diligently helping him to
Achieve all of his dreams. By his side
always, you'll be his best friend and comforter,
Because you
nurtured him from that unforgettable first moment. And before you
know
It, it will be Graduation Day, and deep inside you'll hear
yourself say,
"Where did all the time go? It all flew by so
fast.
I wish I could go back and relive the days of the past."
And you do, each time that you close your eyes, letting thoughts
roll back to
Sweet yesteryears, and all the first moments
together you shared. For they are hidden
Within the depths of
your heart, forever kept safe through the path of time. For a
child
Is ever so precious and dear, truly a gift from above, and
countless joys await you and
Your little one. Make every memory a
picture in your mind, and always be giving of
Yourself and your
time, a shoulder to lean on when days seem long, an outstretched
Hand to always hold on, singing soft lullabies in the wee hours
of the night, and
Chasing away "monsters" from under his bed
every night. Truly a treasure your new
Life together will always
be, beginning from that first moment when the two of you
Will
meet, And the best gift of all you'll give to your baby from
above,
The precious, timeless gift of a mother's love.
