Ode to Baby Horst

 
~~~
A flutter, a movement, a jolt, a bump...
A finger, a toe, an elbow, a nose...
A hiccup, a smile, a grimace, a sigh...
A prayer and praise to the Lord Most High.

A seed, a fetus, a baby, a child...
Skin, bones, muscles, & organs compiled...
Growing, stretching, transforming inside...
Two parents that observe with great pride.

A blossom, a leaf, a sunbeam... relief...
From the biting cold of winter's thief...
Through pain and struggle of birth...
Will come a beautiful new life to earth.

Just as spring is anticipated with joy...
So is this tiny infant girl or boy...
A radical change to this life that we know...
We cannot wait to observe you grow.

The nights will feel much longer...
Our patience *hopefully* will grow stronger...
As we experience each new season...
We expect many changes to be pleasin'.

We look forward to holding you...
Also hearing you talk and coo...
Finding your personality inside...
We're gearing up for one wild ride!

God, bring health to this child I carry...
Jaron and I love him or her so dearly...
Give us the wisdom to raise Baby Horst... 
Our 'Leon' or 'Zoe' on Your perfect course
