Moments pass as the clock on the wall ticks
Knowing love will grow the moment you are here
Joy of my heart, swaddled in a tight pink bundle
I look into those far seeing dark eyes
You blink at the new light, I hear you crying out
Do we shimmer, like we have halos around our heads
Do we look like the angels, you just left
We are here in those first moments
Welcoming you into this world
Adorning you with love, hope, trust and truth
Father, Aunt, brother and me grandmother
We too are wreathed by your new love
That will be with us for life, we feel your spirit
Quiet now, that new voice hushed
You seem to listen, as if seeking that heart beat
Mother has given you a larger resonance
Little one hear the beat of the world now
