Your first cries,
your little whines,
brings tears to my eyes.
A little bundle of joy,
sings the heavens.
The stroke to your soft cheek,
the glitter in your eyes,
came to no surprise,
that you'll be the one in my heart.
Your grip on my finger,
the first glimpse of the world,
the smile on your face,
and my gentle embrace.
The nodding of your head,
with every crawl you make,
then here comes standing,
it made my heart sing.
The day filled with giggles of laughter,
still the smile on your face,
the curls of your hair,
the day never ends.
