I Looked down on you <br />while you were asleep <br />I wanted you here <br />you were born this week. <br />and though no one was there <br />to celebrate your birth <br />I let the sun shine on you <br />and the birds did chirp. <br />We were all singing <br /> Happy Birthday <br />to you, <br />and you started to smile <br />and you looked around too. <br /> <br />as you started to grow <br />you lifted up your head <br />and you tried to get out, <br />of your baby bed <br /> <br />you would rock, and crawl <br />like you were in a race <br />and you had a serious look <br />upon your little face <br /> <br />then this dear lady came <br />she would be your mom <br />and she helped you up <br />pulled you into her arms <br /> <br />then I smiled <br />I knew you would be fine <br />and your new dad came in <br />He was really kind <br /> <br />I saw you smile and show your <br />baby teeth <br />and I smiled too <br />cause your a part of me <br />and off you went <br />with your new family <br /> <br />As you grow <br />I hope one day you'll see <br />that I was always there, <br />even in infancy <br /> <br />and even now <br />I look at your lovely <br />face, I hope you'll come <br />to know my word <br />and my saving grace <br /> <br />through every step <br />every stage <br />your every move <br />all of your grades <br />I was there<br /><br />Debbie Bennett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-celebrated-birth/
