"tribute to the newborn"
We have labored to acquire all that we own,
but you are an added beauty to two lives.
We have waited nine months to see the angelic
face in our midst.
But here you are like an August guest in June
we are jubilating for your arrival in our lives.
Your arrival is like summer in the winter,
a Christmas in September.
You have brightened our faces like full moon
in darkness,
fed us with joy and happiness like no food has
ever done.
You are a priceless gift of nature.
Like the wild eagle guides her chicks with
love and care,
You have been surrounded with love and care.
We love you and will always be there for you.
