Parenthood

we dream together of meeting you
tears run down our faces
the joy you bring we cannot hide
our hearts elated with happiness
seeing your ten soft toes and ten little fingers
we wonder whose nose you will have
your eyes will be beautiful
and with your fathers confidence
you will start to open your eyes
looking into a new world
and as your eyes open up wide
looking at daddy and mommy
you will hear our voices
as we say, “We love you”
for the very first time
