    Sweet Beginnings

    For Jesse

    How wondrous the light of love
    that shines from the eyes of a new parent as they gaze upon the new life that
    they hold close to their heart.
    A gift created by the deep love they have for each other.
    This sweet little person,
    the picture of perfection,
    with their cute little toes and fingers,
    and their adorable face,
    possesses the power to mesmerize,
    even in those early sleep deprived days.
    For time slows down as the world
    continues its hurried pace.
    For this moment in time,
    the only thing that matters
    is the beginning of a lifelong love story
