Thank you for the love you've shown our child,
However little we two might have shared.
A baby has the right to be adored,
No matter whether we are well prepared,
Knowing early whether we have smiled.

You're neither walking off nor running scared,
Opening your heart to be beguiled,
Understanding the immense reward.
