Engels geboortegedicht: ‘We three are happy’

A new little baby
to cuddle and love
To spoil just a little
and think the world of
A bundle of Heaven
to simply adore
Now who in the world
could ask for more

We received a gift
a brand-new life
tiny and sweet
a blessing indeed
A baby girl
precious and small
an answer to prayer
no joy can compare

With the help of God
and the love between two people
is born today....

Little fingers curl up to make a tiny fist
as fairy lips purse out as if to make a gentle
kiss
Eyes wide as a kitten's, and little button nose
you look like someone's angel, down to your
pudge toes
Although you are so wrinkled and your face is
still so pale
and the only song you seem to know sounds like
a shrilling wail
When you are here before me, finally, I feel
complete
I've waited so long, sweetheart... at last, we
finally meet
