Tessa

A miracle second to none in this world
The spark of a star freshly born
Polished and perfect before us she’s curled
Dark thoughts from minds are soon torn.

Cradled and warm in grandfather’s arms
With daddy nearby standing guard,
Not a soul can approach with intentions to harm
Hopes for this child stand strong and unmarred.

A beauty that baffles even elaborate dreams
A room full of praise for a most precious gift
A small sigh to trickle past lips as a stream,
Through cards of warm welcome they begin now to sift.

A baby brings joy, a baby brings tears,
A baby's a future to unfold through the years.
