as I hold you close to me,
feelings of love enfold me
you reach out your hand and
touch me, carressing my
face, little fingers, gently
feeling.
warmth, love are outpouring
as I gaze down at your smiling
face. My babe, how I love you
a wonder of creation here
as you lay within my arms,
feelings overflow within.
our touch is a human emotion
gently easing the way, of times
of growth and fullfilment,
beckon our coming days.
the beauty of creation, gazing
into my face. My babe I love thee
forever, for you are but gentle
grace.
sweet smelling as I kiss your tiny
fingertips, joy as I watch
you smile. Only a baby's love
so heartcatching to a mothers
eye.
blessings from above, thankfulness
abounds, a gift of life so precious,
my heart is spilling over with
tenderness and love.
