Flush and Pink and brand-spanking new,
As you wiggle and squint and try to coo;
While i tickle and stroke and ooo and ahh,
And say something silly like, "I'm your Papa!"

Mommy is resting with joy in  her sighs,
and daddy is watching with pride in his eyes.
Your family is gathered both near and far
and they're praying for you wherever they are.

On my big finger, your tiny ones land
and with that little clasp, my heart's in your hand.
Hold it with care in all that you do,
know that I'm here and papa loves you!
