The world is full

Of beautiful things:

A baby’s sweet laughter,

A soul that grows wings;

 

A baby’s first word

And the emotion you feel,

When she says the word “Mama,

And love becomes real;

 

The smell of her hair

When your cheek lies against it;

The touch of her skin,

When you caress  her a bit;

 

Her scent when she’s clean,

And you rock her to sleep, 

And the joy that comes

When gratitude runs deep.

 

You know there is nothing

On earth that can beat, 

The feeling: ” this baby

Is yours to keep.”
