Congratulations On Your Baby Boy

I am sending congratulations your way;
For that new son, that you proudly hold.
A more precious gift does not exist;
He's more precious than diamonds or gold.

You were blessed with a gift from God above;
As he smiled on you, with a boy.
He will bring you love to fill your heart;
And countless days of joy.

He will fill your days with laughter;
And put many smiles upon your face.
As he grows to be a part of your life;
No one will ever take his place.

Nurture him, and watch him grow;
Tend to his scraped little knees.
And gaze into those loving eyes;
As he asks for a cookie, "Mama, please?"

Years will pass so quickly, I know;
And the day will come, when he leaves.
Then you'll sit back, and watch lovingly;
At the goals he sets, and achieves.
