My Girl

We're having a girl! =D I was pretty sure, but it's so cool to know. Poem-inspiring stuff. :) It may very well expand over the next few days. It's kind of coming in pieces.

There's a little one growing right now as I write

A little one stirring around

Ten fingers and toes; she's a beautiful sight

But from her you'll not hear a sound

She's not ready to come, not ready to play

She's barely started to grow

Less than a pound, we heard just today

But someday she'll gnaw on her toe

My little girl, little babe, little precious one

What an amazing gift you are

I love you already, my cute little bun,

Little Biscuit, my twinkling star

I saw your face, your eyes, your cute little nose

Saw your bones and maybe a sneeze

We got lots of pictures of you in your pose

You're cuter than the bee's knees!

We've not quite met, but I know just the same

That you are a gift from my Lord

No matter how you turn out or shift the blame

You cannot sever this cord.

Because you are my girl, you belong to me.

You'll always be mine in a way

Though you may marry and move over the sea

You'll always have a place here to stay.

But while you are ours, and we love you so much

In God's hands you rest

I cannot keep you, protect you or such

To trust Him is your test

So each day I'll bow my head and pray

I'll ask the Lord for you

To quicken your heart so that you can say

You love Him deep and true.
