Love at first sight, their eyes so bright
Lit up a room, like candles in the night
In awe of their sweet smiles and tiny feet
They sleep close to our chest remembering every heart-beat
Long days and shorter nights, we get no sleep
Up and around the clock they continue to eat
Trials and error of lost appetites
Singing soothing lullabies to calm them thru the night
Finally, hope for those with no sleep
Lying in the hallway for a quiet retreat
The baby wore them down and tired them out
The grand introduction of what parenting is all about
