Something happens to our lives
When a baby is born
No time for resentment
No energy for scorn
The first time we hold
That tiny bundle close to our chest
We realise we will always
Want to do our very best
For our children are jewels
Just look at those eyes
Captivating heart-strings
Our souls breathe a sigh
For now and forever
Our protective arm will allay their fears
Eternally on hand to wipe away all the tears
