It's April the 2nd, the day you were born
when my eyes met your perfect little form
my heart was overwhelmed with happiness and Joy
and giggled when your mother said oh no
because she was sure you'd be a boy
You're entry into this world gave us quite a start
as you flopped out still, I nearly swallowed my heart
was this an appointment with death you were keeping?
No! all things to be believed! you were sleeping!
The midwife woke you by picking you up
you kicked and cried like a hungry seal pup
another then pulled out soft paper towel's
laying them gently on the cold weighing scales
popped you down to see what you weighed in
I wanted to hold you my sweet little thing.
After some wriggles and screams
they got what they wanted, it seemed
then they left us alone and we gave you fuss
a new family was born that day ..... Us
