In the first moments, your new little one seems more like an alien than a bundle of joy, but after a bath for baby and a few deep breaths for the new parents, your little angel looks their part. Their little red face is all scrunched up, and the sounds that voice from their puckered little mouth are the most precious notes you could ever hope for. You ache any time the nurses take them for tests, and you deny offers from well meaning friends and family who offer to hold them while you get some sleep. All you want to do is be with your new baby, and you'll forego food, water and sleep to do just that! A Mother’s Love
Ten little fingers, ten little toes,
And an angelic face full of awe and wonder
A new born baby was born this day -
It was a day like no other.
With the first breath of life, the first cry
The little one has started life’s journey.
All your hopes and dreams came true
The moment you held your precious baby.
Love hugs your heart,
Joy and happiness surround your soul.
The bond between Mother and child,
Blossoms and grows as each moment unfolds.
Just like a seedling in a garden of hope,
Your baby’s being depends on you.
Pay attention, love and nurture
And be a Mother so trusted and true.
As each day passes, little by little,
Your baby progresses and grows.
Each step taken, each word spoken
Will bring more joy than you have ever known.
Cherish these moments and days
And don’t let them pass before your eyes.
Little babies become adults
In what seems the blink of an eye.
Be a Mother with a pillar of strength,
Hold your love so steadfast and strong.
Don’t be quick to judge,
Even when they are wrong.
Show love and hope
Like there’s no tomorrow.
Show patience and understanding
In times of joy and sorrow.
There will come a day
When they spread their wings and soar.
Be sure they will always know
A Mother’s love will always be there.
