An infant touch, warms heart and soul
As my breast holds dreams to unfold
Swaddling babe asleep in my arms
Tears of happiness, sweet and calm
Simple joy has seldom been told
An infant touch, warms heart and soul
A life conceived, has no regrets
Awed by its presence, I confess
Commitments that’s placed, before you
Innocence vanishes like dew
An infant touch, warms heart and soul
As a life maturates and grows
Memories cherished, warm embrace
Precious newborn, covered in lace
It’s seldom one would ever know
An infant touch warms heart and soul
