My Lil One

My life was lone with work and home
All I wanted was someone to call me Mom

One fine day my prayers were heard
A joy so true did my life unfold
A little heart beat inside me I heard
A little life's inside me; I beamed

I cried in ecstasy
You were on your way
the wait seemed long
was my haste so wrong?

you came into my arms
and i could wait no more
a look at your face
Could I be happier anymore?

so tiny so lovely
and a smile so sweet
so soft and pink
those hands and feet

When your pink little hands touched me light
Did I not tremble in sheer delight?

I held you close; I cuddled you tight
So you could sleep warm through the night
After the sleep you woke up bright
As if to say "Mamma that was a good night"

a bond so strong in your eyes i could see
and loud i sang a song in glee

The mother in me could not but smile
For my angel was here to brighten my life

I thanked the Lord, for my shining star
for my perfect gift; my dream come true

And with all such thoughts when I lay
Watching you play with your toys in gay

I murmured in your little ears a note..
"Lil one..my lil one
How I love you so
You know not now
But sure you will do
in all the time that is to go"
