I saw his eyes glisten with the shine of new life.

As he stared at me with wonder.

The sound of his heartbeat pounding hard.

Caught my own heart off guard.

What gift was this?

That God so blessed me with?

The love I'd never known.

Quickly the seed planted within a second had blossomed, full grown.

How could I have not seen it coming?

This feeling of such overwhelming joy.

As my heart wondered in awe.

My soul already knew, its eyes had already saw.

Something unexplainable,

that had come in God's perfect timing.

As I stared into a face I'd never seen before,

yet it was so familiar, the features so well he wore.

And I couldn't help but smile

so thrilled to have this hand picked gift.

Blessed by God Himself, sent to me,

full of promise, but with no lack of sweat equity.

But I wasn't afraid of the challenge,

I knew I would be rewarded time and time again.

Not only would this investment grow,

it would flourish with love, and with Godly seeds I'd try to sow.

A gift made of two hands two feet,

two eyes, a mouth and a sweet little nose.

One little heart that would always be mine,

my blessed baby, my living valentine.
