A Forever Moment

Seeing your newborn for the first time. Some inspiration from the movie Roots.

Baby, as I hold you in my arms
I know that my world will be something more
I didn't expect to fall so deep at first sight
I want to hold you forever, hold you tight, never let go
And this connection is only moments old

Behold my new love
As I raise you up high
See the stars and moon above
They shine just a little brighter tonight
Because you've come into my life
Nothing could be greater than this moment in time

Heart beating fast and soul beaming
Cool, calm and nervous all at the same time
This moment is sweet and slow
As I ponder how, from this moment, you will live and grow
The things you will come to love and know
And one day my love, when you look at the moon and stars above
That you'll feel these emotions, this powerful love
That I feel in this moment in time

Author's Note

I don't have kids, so this is just an observational guess. And the scene in Roots where Kunta raise Kisse to the stars, yeah, powerful imagery.
