Footprint of Life

As I see your tiny footprint form

Pressing against your mommy’s belly
letting us know soon you will be born
Brings tears of joy to my eyes

The time will be soon my little one

Out side of the hospital window are butterflies

Little blue ones

Fluttering their wings
Ready to announcing your birth to the world

And giving us nature’s blessings

Your mother and I are so happy little one
When you arrive into our world
with eyes of pearls

There will be rejoicing and plans being made
visitors, grandparents, and friends galore
but first we’ll hold you in our arms

Whisper lovely words in you ears
as we gently touch your face
and hold those tiny hands
Your birth gives life’s meaning so much
