Deep inside you planted a seed
And from that day forth
that seed was nurtured and loved
From this love
The seed grows and develops
As the seed begins blossoming
You to, blossomed
Announcing to the world
That another tiny life force would soon emerge
And become one with the human race
From day one you took on a new glow
The glow of an expectant mother
And your joy was shared and nourished by others
The joy of grandparents, first time aunts
The joy of Fatherhood
As you and your child grow
The love surrounding you grows also
There never is just an expectant mother
But rather an expectant family
As everyone shares and rejoices in the birth of a new babe
So to you I extend my warmest wishes of love and happiness
I was not present at the creation of this new life
I do know that it took more than one
