The moment you were born I was there <br />heard your cry as you breathed in air. <br />I saw the beauty of your small frame <br />And we decided Ruth would be your name. <br /> <br />Such defining moments indelibly remain <br />imprinted on my mind so clear and plain. <br />You looked so beautiful and so complete <br />wrapped in a package so small and neat. <br /> <br />As I tenderly held you so close to my side <br />“Praise God”, my heart with wonder cried. <br />“This miracle of love held in my embrace <br />is a great gift from God by His good grace.” <br /> <br />This lovely baby looking so fair and bright <br />has cheered my life bringing great delight. <br />We covered your life with prayer as you grew <br />and enjoyed watching the babe grow into you.<br /><br />Royston Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-moment-you-were-born-i-was-there/
