Engels geboortegedicht: ‘The flower of life blooms in love’

On the day that you were born
the angels came together
and decided to create a dream come true
so they sprinkled golddust in your hair
and golden starlights in your eyes
And there were you

I bet you can't believe it
when you see that little face
the little hands and little feet
all that love in just one place
our tiny little gift from God
is such a joy to see....
We are thankful to heaven above
for making us a family

You little wonder
Little wonder you...

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
