He's here (:

Day Old Child
My day-old child lay in my arms.
With my lips against his ear
I whispered strongly, "How I wish-
I wish that you could hear;

I've a hundred wonderful things to say
(A tiny cough and a nod),
Hurry, Hurry, hurry and grow
So I can tell you about God."

My day-old baby's mouth was still
And my words only tickled his ear.
But a kind of a light passed through his eyes,
And I saw this thought appear:

"How I wish I had a voice and words;
I've a hundred things to say, 
Before I forget I'd tell you of God--
I left Him yesterday."

Connie! He is beautiful and perfect! I actually read this post when my husband and I were on our way out to Colorado for Thanksgiving, and I cried. I really did, that poem was so beautiful. I didnt comment because thats so annoying to try to do, but I wanted to tell you, you have a beautiful son and you looked SOOO gorgeous for just having a baby. Heck you looked gorgeous for any day of the week!
