My New Son

From the moment I saw you I was in love,
A little angel sent from above.
Holding you close in my arms,
vowing to keep you safe from harm.

Forgetting the pain that I'd just endured,
to bring my angel into this world.

Looking for flaws, finding not one,
happy to know you are my son.
More happy than I could ever be,
knowing you belong to me.

Your little hands, your little feet,
your little eyes, your rosy cheeks.
Your little mouth so tiny and new,
babies like you are very few.

I vow to love you with all my heart,
and today is the day that this will start.
