Rose-petals blossom upon baby's cheeks,
flooding pale flesh with pink-and-purple blooms.
Mother's gentle eyes caress chubby hands
and shower you with tenderness and love.
Family awaiting your grand-entrance,
with hopeful hearts and stars in our eyes,
for you are loved so very much, darling;
our little angel; heaven-sent to us.
I want to kiss your tiny button-nose,
cradle you and listen to the rhythm
of your silent sighs; they're my lullaby;
so dream of milk and honey, little one.
I may not know you, but you are my blood,
and I will love you, sweet baby, always.
