Poem For Baby John James

Each day a sun arises,

And with the closing of the day the moon appears,

A cycle that's unchangeable,

And happens from year to year,

But within each ordinary day a miracle occurs,

Like a shooting star or a raindrop falling on the icy lake,

Or a baby being born.

 

John James enters the world to explore the brand new sights,

From the comfort of his mothers womb to a world of calm,

Of love and peace,

His life, I hope, will be one filled with joy and cheer,

And the necessary feeling of knowing his family is near,

And as the wind changes and the seasons come and go,

I know that John James changeth, you'll see just how he grows.

 

You'll watch upon in wonder as he utters his first word,

Like the blind man who rejoiced at the sight of the mockingbird,

You'll watch upon in awe as, slowly, step by step he takes,

And the pleasure you will feel each morning that he wakes,

In a time where life can be so cruel and rushed,

Nothing silences the passion, this flame just can't be hushed.

 

Each day a sun arises,

And with the closing of the day the moon appears,

A cycle that's unchangeable,

And happens from year to year,

But within each ordinary day a baby can be born,

And like the river finds it way, John James has found your heart,

For, in that heart, like a locket on a pendant, he will forevermore stay.
