little one



Little one,
I celebrate your arrival
Sweet angel pure with innoncence
Light for this dim house, your cries are music through the nights
Blessings be upon you
May your path be guided and filled with happiness
Oh love! You bring warmth to my tired soul


I'm anticipating your first step,
I'm eager to hear your first words,
I look forward to your first day in school,
I'm hoping to be the one you tell about your first crush,
I'd like to be the shoulder you cry on when you fail,
I pray to be there when you graduate,
I'd certainly like to be the one that draws henna on your hands when you get married.

Little one, this world of mine became brighter with your presence

Joy, joy
Herald O Joy

A swaddled bundle,
Perfection, canvas stark white

Fill Joy with goodness
Brush acrylic Joy

Sparkly eyed
Heart lifted

Joy, joy
Herald O Joy
