a blessing song

Beloved my heart is brimming with gratitude for the gift of new life as tiny hands grasp my fingers and I listen to tiny breaths I feel my heart filling with joy and thanks for the ability to love and be loved may new life begin in me, so I may keep welcoming life Beloved thank you for helping me walk though the darkness, so I can bask in the light now there is an inner light that lives in me and in the life of this little one that I hold The only words that rises to my lips are "thank you I love you"

Thoughts of a new father grateful he survived times of depression, suicide attempts, an unspiritual life, to now able to live a life filled with gratitude and not resentments and fears.
