New for Us
A little bean inside of me
Growing day by day
A precious son, a little boy
My firstborn, on his way
Less than a year until a person
Will be here by my side
In his Daddy's and my arms
Our hearts filled with pride
What a lonely life we led
Both he and I alone
A waitress and a firefighter
Two houses, but no home
We came together and grew in love
And now our son grows, too
No longer lonely, but family
A joy so wond'rous new
This grand little addition
Has changed our lives completely
And subtracted all the emptiness
From two lost lives so neatly

Then I found my beloved friend,
We became two,
As time passed,
We grew old together,
