Hello, readers!
Wishing you and your family a holiday season full of joy, laughter, and baby snuggles. I want to share with you a poem that I wrote for my daughters.
Love,
Emily and the Bonsie family
The Golden Hour
The doctor laid you on my chest
Precious, small, brand new
Your eyes met mine in recognition
I know you
Nurses bustled about
As tears of joy ran down my face
They stitched me up
But I only felt our first embrace
Hello, I’m your Mama, I said
While Dada whispered his love
With your tiny hand in mine
I thanked the Lord above
And I wondered-
As I smiled down at you
How can my heart hold so much joy?
I’ve never felt love so true
Heart to heart
And skin to skin
Finally in my arms
Our adventure about to begin
