Birth
we waited contemplated anticipated your arrival
trusting praying believing in your safe and timely emergence
your existence the fulfillment of desires and dreams
for family for future—
the contemplated completion of considered care
gracing surroundings with cries and coos
the beckoning of beginnings embodied in your being
welcome to our world precious one!
welcome to our lives
welcome to our love
welcome to our home and our hearth
you are our haven of hope
our heaven
