Engels geboortegedicht: ‘Filled with hope’

She sleeps through almost every sound
even when it's screaming loud and clear
but she wakes up and smiles at a friendly voice
if it whispers softly in her ears

The flower of life blooms in love
and radiates love all around it

Small enough
to hold in your arms
Big enough
to fill our life with happiness

Ten tiny little fingers
That always want to play
That never stop exploring
The wonder of today

Ten tiny little fingers
That from the very start
Will reach out for tomorrow
Yet always hold your heart
