The very first movement
That I felt inside of me
Like the smallest butterfly
That was trying to get free

A feeling of such wonder
Like I had never known
This proof of life within
That I was being shown

As the months went by
And he continued to grow
We watched each change
As my body began to show

Nothing could compare to
Placing our hands on him
To actually see him move
And to feel each baby limb

This tiny miracle of life
A precious gift of love
Gently placed in our care
By angels from above
