I remember the joy I felt right after giving birth to my children. This poem explores that instant bond of love between mother and child as they make that first connection. Newborn babies are truly a Special Gift of Love.

Special Gift of Love
The first time I held you in my arms
I wanted to protect you
And shield you from life’s harms
Your innocent eyes drew me inside
Our two souls made connection
My heart filled up with pride
You were so perfect in every way
Unspotted by the world
If only for a day
As you lay that day upon my breast
Joy swelled my heart and I felt
So exceedingly blessed
Surely God has fashioned you with his love
Beautiful newborn baby
Special gift from above
