Oh, Baby!
Oh, you glorious baby girl,
wailling your announcement to the world
in all your freshness - "Here I AM!"
as only a brand new baby can . . .
Oh, you wonderful little boy,
staccato notes are all your voice -
a music vibrant to the heart
as I see your new life start . . .
Oh, you babies one and all
one day to roll, and then to crawl
and on to walk, someday tall as me
your birthdays I am so lucky to see . . .
Oh, you mommies, laboring strong
I am priveledged to help you each along
through the journey of your little one's birth
We welcome these Angels here on earth . . .
