My Miguel

First Cry,
welcoming a new life.
The sound,
heralding heavens newest arrival.

Sweet innocence,
Heaven's perfect gift.
Fills my arms
with tenderness and love like I have never felt.

Joy fills my soul,
as I look at you.
You are evidence
of God's perfect love for me.

(We adopted our son at the age of 2.  I remember looking through pictures given to us by his birth family.  It was fun to see him so small and innocent, but I felt a twinge of sadness that I hadn't been there to witness his first beginnings.  I thought about what that day must have been like, were I to have actually been there.)
