A LITTLE GIRL IS BORN

By: Lavina Burgess
2002

A child is born
And I heard it was a girl
We just want to say
To wish you love and joy

As you hold her in your arms
She'll hear your beating heart
And she will know
It is you from the start

The touch of your hand
On her soft,soft skin
She knew right then
She would feel that touch once again

With a cry of hunger
And her mouth opened wide
You gently move her to your chest
As she feeds from your breast

The love in your heart
That flows through you veins
She stares at you
As if to say...Are you my mom

Once she was fed
From the milk of your breast
She closed her eyes
And now she's ready to rest

Then came the silence
From family and friends
As they said their goodbyes
To the new mom and dad
