Softly, a gentle caress
Searching, eyes full of wonder.
Powerful emotions surging
Heart bursting with pride.

Surroundings fade
Time stands still
It is just you and I.
Drinking in pure beauty
Joy emanating at the sight.
A bud to be nurtured
To blossom and grow.

An instant bond
The knot tightening its hold
For a lifetime of love
You are mine and I am yours.
Bound we are from this day forth
A bond never broken
Planted deep in our souls
Awaiting to be tested
Over time yet to be told.

For the moment, I'll treasure
What is truly just mine.
Softly
Gently
I'll cradle you
My precious new child
