I wrote this for my mom. Every year on our (me and my siblings) birthdays she describes the events that lead up to the day of our births. The feelings she and my dad felt and how grateful she was for the wonderful gifts that God gave her. I love this poem!
On a day like today
Not so long ago.
Arrived a small gift
Without wrapping or bow.
It came full of sunshine
To help warm the day.
And glistening moon light
To help brighten the way.
A sprinkle of mischief
Excitement to share
A miracle of life
An answer to our prayer.
It brought with it laughter
And heartfelt content.
A simple expression
Of a moment well spent.
It came filled with wonder
And questions galore.
It brought with it gladness
We’ve never felt before.
This present is special
It came from above.
It was given to us
To cherish and love.
It showed us the meaning
Of life and its worth.
A small piece of heaven
Of our own here on earth.
With two eyes that twinkle,
Ten fingers and toes,
A beautiful smile,
And a cute button nose.
There’s no better present
We know this is true.
For you see little one
That special gift was you
