To New Parents
You've just been blessed with a new baby boy.
He will bring you so much happiness, joy.
He will grab your finger and hold it tight.
You'll tell him you love him each day and night.
You'll give him all the attention he'll need.
Your look forward to the time he will read.
He'll receive hugs, kisses every day.
You can't wait to hear first words he will say.
Right now your baby will not sleep all night.
When it's time, you will teach him wrong from right.
Many times you're welcome to sleep at night.
You will ask God to help you raise him right.
Your new baby will often smile at you.
He will cry when he's hungry, tired too.
He will be right on you each night and day.
There's five basic sounds your baby will say.
Those "Moments"
Watching children humbly pray;
Hearing the cute things they say,
Seeing hugs, kisses they share,
Knowing your friend will be there.
Winning first place in a race;
Feeling the rain on your face,
Noticing the little things,
The beauty every day brings.
Smiling at someone you meet,
Making and sharing a treat,
Laughing when making mistakes
Like burning the birthday cakes.
Watching children wave good-bye,
Seeing the new things they try,
Hearing newborn babies cry,
Watching a bird learn to fly.
Positive thoughts in your head;
Smelling a rose which is red,
Learning when you said let go,
Watching children play in snow
