When they saw her eyes for the first time
they saw an angel
When they held her in their arms
their eyes began to water
When they kissed her for the first time
they fell in LOVE.
"How small
How beautiful
Whatever happens in the years to come.
This is perfection.
This is love."


Pam Brown, 1928
"Before you were conceived I wanted you
Before you were born I loved you
Before you were an hour old
I would die for you This is the miracle of life."


Maureen Hawkins
A baby girl...
one of the most beautiful miracles in life,
one of the greatest joys we can ever know,
and one of the reasons why
there is a little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness
in your world today.
 
She's a little bit of sunshine,
She's a smile to light your days,
She will steal your heart and
keep it with her warm endearing ways,
She's your precious little daughter,
With a sweetness from above
Who will fill your years with laughter
and your lives with lots of love
One of the most precious gifts from heaven above,
Is the gift of a daughter for a Daddy to love.
You're the end of my rainbow, my pot of gold.
You're mommy's little girl, to have and hold.
A precious gem is what you are.
You're mommy's bright and shining star.
You're sugar, you're spice,
You're everything nice,
And you're mommy's little girl.
My first night @ home
Was really just fine
I woke up Mommy only 29 times!


Precious one,
So small,
So sweet
Dancing in
on angel feet

Straight from
Heaven's brightest star
What a miracle you are
 

Ten little toes,

Two little eyes,

One little nose

(Button size)-

A wish full filled,

A dream come true...

Congratulations

To all of you!

 

 
 

There's nothing like a baby

To put new joy in life

And give each day new meaning

For a husband and a wife

That's why it's such a pleasure

To congratulate you two

And wish the best of everything

For baby and for you

 
 

Itsy – Bitsy fingers,

Wiggly little toes,

Teeny – tiny tummy,

Baby button nose -

Lullabies & Laughter,

Lots of “baby things,”

And then to fill your heart,

The Love a baby brings.

 

A Baby is a Miracle

This little tiny baby
Was sent from God above
To fill our hearts with happiness
And touch our lives with love
He must have known
We'd give our all
And always do our best
To give our precious baby love
And be grateful and so blessed

 

When God wants something special done
in this world...

He sends a baby and then...

He waits.

 

Day One

 

Your eyes creep open like

Two tiny cracks in a china cup.

Your Fat fingers grapple air

Casting a spell.

 

Gigantic forms murmur and coo

As you pass day one.

Lazily you kick

 An imaginary balloon.

 

Satisfied, you close your eyes.

Silence surrounds your tiny frame

You sleep.

Day one is over.

 

Rebecca Patton

 

Blessed by God
A dream come true
Born into the world
You are so new

Given to me, your finaly here
In my womb, a sweet angel, so perfectly near
Realizing now that we are two
Love brought us together Baby Girl & mommy and daddy welcomes you   

A baby changes things;
They’ll never be the same;
Your life is filled with wonder,
Since your little miracle came.

There’s lots of things to do now,
But with the new tasks you face,
Your family gains more love,
And bonds time will never erase.
 
Daddy's Pride
You little one are daddy's pride,
the joy you bring I cannot hide.
Ten little fingers and ten little toes,
your beautiful eyes and button nose.
How could I... even dream
what having you would really mean.
I do wish I would've known,
that you are really a gift on loan.
Tho', I could not have prepared,
for the gift of love, that God has shared.
I will always do my best,
God believes, I'll pass this test
and I will know I have succeeded
when you're a parent, and there when needed.
Let me play in the
sunshine; let me sing
for joy; Let me grow
in the light; Let me
splash in the rain,
and remember the
days of childhood

Forever.
Precious

A wee bit of heaven,
Drifted down from above.
A handful of happiness
A heart full of love.

The mystery of life,
So sacred and sweet.
The giver of joy,
So deep and complete.

Precious and priceless,
So lovable to.
The world's sweetest miracle,
That would be you.
Sweet kiss dream night
Lovely baby
Gentle God give us you
Warm embrace,
Cuddle her world
and together,
Adore this magnificent smile

My Dear Baby,

I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
Our life together has just begun,
You're part of me my little one.

As mother with child, each day I grew,
My mind was filled with thoughts of you.
I'd daydream of the things we'd share,
Like late-night bottles and teddy bears.
Like first steps and skinned knees,
Like bedtime stories and ABC's.

I thought of things you'd want to know,
Like how birds fly and flowers grow.
I thought of lessons I'd need to share,
Like standing tall and playing fair.

When I first saw your precious face,
I prayed your life be touched with grace.
I thanked the angels from above,
And promised you unending love.

Each night I lay you down to sleep,
I gently kiss your head and cheek.
I count your little fingers and toes;
I memorize your eyes and nose.
I linger at your nursery door,
And each day I love you more.
Through misty eyes, I dim the light,
I whisper "I Love You" every night.

I loved you from the very start,
You stole my breath, embraced my heart.
As mother and child our journey's begun,
My heart's yours forever, my little one.
 
A mother tries to teach her daughter


A mother tries to provide her daughter with insight
into the important things in life
in order to make her life
as happy and fulfilling as possible.

A mother tries to teach her daughter
to be good, always helpful to other people
to be fair, always treating others equally
to have a positive attitude at all times
to always make things right when they are wrong
to know herself well
to know what her talents are
to set goals for herself
to not be afraid of working too hard to reach her goals.


to have many interests to pursue
to laugh and have fun every day
to appreciate the beauty of nature
to enter into friendships with good people
to honor their friendships and always be a good friend
and to particularly respect and love our elder members
to use her intelligence all times
to listen to her emotions
to adhere to her values

A mother tries to teach her daughter
to not be afraid to stick to her beliefs
to not follow the majority when the majority is wrong
to carefully plan a life for herself
to vigorously follow her chosen path
to enter into a relationship with someone worthy of herself
to love this person unconditionally with her body and mind
to share all that she has learned in her life with this person

If I have provided you with an insight
into most of these things
then I have succeeded as a mother
in what I hoped to accomplish in raising you
if many of these slipped by
while we were all so busy
I have a feeling you know them anyway
One thing I am sure of though,
I have taught you to be proud of the fact
that you are a woman equal to all men and
that I have loved you every second of your life
I have supported you at all times
as a mother, as a person, and as a friend
I will always continue to Cherish and love
everything about you
my beautiful daughter.

Did God Make You

A little girl was sitting on her grandfather's lap as he read her a bedtime story. From time to time, she would take her eyes off the book and reach up to touch his wrinkled cheek. She was alternately stroking her own cheek, then his again. Finally she spoke, "Grandpa, did God make you?"
"Yes, sweetheart, " he answered, "God made me a long time ago."
"Oh," she said, and then "Grandpa, did God make me too?"
"Yes, indeed, honey," he answered. "God made you just a little while ago."
Feeling their respective faces again, she observed, "God's getting better at it, isn't he?"
Baby so new and so sweet,
Love is an endless mystery,
For it has nothing else to explain it
except the faith of one so little.
Your fingers curl up tight to make a fist
Your lips purse up as to make a kiss
Your eyes so bright, joy is all they bring
Your presence  causes angels to sing
“Love is patient; love is kind
and envies no one.
Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude;
never selfish, not quick to take offense.
There is nothing love cannot face;
there is no limit to its faith,
its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things
that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.”
Thank you my mother for bringing me into this world
Thank you my mother for taking care of me in your womb!
 

Listen to the mustn'ts child

Listen to the don'ts

Listen to the shouldn'ts, 

the impossibles and the won'ts

Listen to the never haves

Then listen close to me

Anything can happen child

Anything can be.

 

WHAT MAKES A DAD?
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need.

Then God comb
