New life, a little baby, a little star,
The world awaits you near and far

Stories now waiting to be told.

2. God Bless You, Little One
A baby is a gift, a blessing that makes our lives worthwhile,
As they complete us, give us purpose and always manage to make us smile.
Their cuddles, snuggles, and soft kisses can brighten up any day.
And it's amazing that even just watching them sleep can make all our problems simply fade away.
When they gently clasp your finger or you gaze down at their cute little feet,
We are reminded every day just how precious they are, so perfect and oh so sweet.
We have come together with our family and friends on this absolutely perfect day
To ask God if he could look after this princess as she goes on her way.
We pray that He will keep her healthy and safe and always be her guide,
And that he will be there for her when she needs him to be right by her side.
As we watch her grow and learn, I hope she always learns right from wrong.
May she be little warrior, brave and fearless, but at the same time, kind, gentle yet strong.
May she never stop following her dreams and reach for the highest stars in the sky.
Help her believe and achieve and let her spirits always fly high.
We hope that she will be respectful, humble, honest and true.
A life filled with pure happiness is what we all wish for you.
May she always be surrounded by laughter and her heart always filled with love.
And from this moment, we pray that she will be forever faithful to the Lord above.
God bless you, little angel; may you never stop wearing a golden halo,
And my wish for you is that your life will always be like a rainbow.
Perfect in every single way and just so beautiful to see,
A life that will be intriguing and as colorful as can be.
God bless you, little one. -
3. Thank You, God
Sent straight from heaven up above
Came an angel for me to love
To hold and rock and kiss good night
To wrap my arms around real tight
To cuddle and nurture and watch him play
To kiss his boo-boos all away
To keep him safe and warm and count all his toes
To hold the tissue for him when he blows his little nose
To laugh at his jokes, to clap as he sings
To tell him all the joy in my life that he brings
To clean up his play dough, to pull his legos apart
To pin up his drawings and tell him it's art
To watch his first day of school on the bus all alone
To fight back the tears as I make my way back home
To applaud real loud when he's in his first play
To help him with his homework at the end of his day
To adore and cherish and watch him grow
To guide and teach him all that I know
To see him through good times and help him through bad
To share in his happiness and cry when he's sad
To hold him close and be by his side
To watch him through life as my heart fills with pride
To help him with decisions the best that I can
To know that someday he'll be a fine young manFeatured Shared StoryI love your poem! I have an 8-month-old son who is my world. If it weren't for him, I would've given up a long time ago. He is the very reason I am still alive.

4. I Never Knew
I never knew I could love so much,
until the day I felt your touch.
I softly kissed your tiny cheek,
and from under your lashes I saw you peek.
Your beautiful eyes so small and blue,
my sweet little baby just brand new.
I cannot wait to watch you grow,
from your little head to your tiny toes.
My daughter, my love, my little joy,
my little angel, my baby doll toy.
I promise to love you with all my heart.
I'm here for you from the very start.
I'll comfort you when you cry,
I'll answer true when you ask me, "Why?"
While you grow, be sweet and kind,
and show all others how much you shine.

Sweet dreams my darling, the day is done.
The moon is here to say goodnight to the sun.

6. Daddy's Little Angel
When you were born, you filled my heart with pride,
And I was overcome by the joy I felt inside.
As I held you in my arms that very first day,
I knew I would never let any harm come your way.
With your tiny little hands and tiny little feet,
Every time I look at you, my heart skips a beat.
As I watch you sleep in the middle of the night,
I hope and pray I will do everything right.
I know I may make some mistakes along the way,
But I promise to do my best not to every single day.
I often wonder what you will grow up to be,
But whatever you become will be fine with me.
So whatever you may decide to do in your life,
Maybe an astronaut, a lawyer, or even a doctor's wife,
I can say this without any doubt at all,
I will always be there to catch you if you fall.
And another promise I make to you from me,
Daddy's little angel you will always be.Featured Shared StoryI was definitely touched by this beautiful poem! There are so many young fathers in today's society who are clueless about how to take care of a baby! This poem that Jason wrote is absolutely...

7. Open Arms
The day you were born,
you touched my soul.
You were the missing link
that made my life whole.
Those beautiful blue eyes
stare at me in awe,
gazing at the woman
who just became your mom.
As days turned to months,
and months turned to years,
I watched you grow,
Facing life's challenges and fighting your fears.
Now that you're grown,
you take that next step.
Those years gone by,
in my heart they're kept.
If you get lost along your way,
not sure what to do or what to say.
Know that I'm present in spirit and soul
with open arms and a hand for you always to hold.

8. A Cradle Song
Sweet dreams form a shade
O'er my lovely infant's head;
Sweet dreams of pleasant streams
By happy, silent, moony beams.
Sweet sleep with soft down
Weave thy brows an infant crown.
Sweet sleep, Angel mild,
Hover o'er my happy child.
Sweet smiles in the night
Hover over my delight;
Sweet smiles, Mother's smiles,
All the livelong night beguiles.
Sweet moans, dovelike sighs,
Chase not slumber from thy eyes.
Sweet moans, sweeter smiles,
All the dovelike moans beguiles.
Sleep sleep, happy child,
All creation slept and smil'd;
Sleep sleep, happy sleep,
While o'er thee thy mother weep.
Sweet babe, in thy face
Holy image I can trace.
Sweet babe, once like thee,
Thy maker lay and wept for me,
Wept for me for thee for all,
When he was an infant small.
Thou his image ever see.
Heavenly face that smiles on thee,
Smiles on thee on me on all,
Who became an infant small,
Infant smiles are His own smiles,
Heaven & earth to peace beguiles. -

Big blue eyes and a beautiful smile,
all the qualities to last the longest while.
Comforting laugh and a warm heart,

13. My Little Girl
Ten tiny fingers,
Ten tiny toes,
Two little eyes,
And one little nose.
A beautiful smile
Curly blonde hair
A perfect angel
Just standing there
A blank slate
For me to mold
A little girl
For me to hold
She watches my every move
Sure not to miss a beat

My own little me
The love of my life
It's hard to believe
An unbreakable bond
Between her and I
No limit to love
When it reaches the sky

14. To My Little Angel
From a tiny bundle till today
I see you grow each day...
From endless cries to endless laughs
I see you glow each day...
From the innocent questions to the incredible mischievous
I see you learn each day...
From the little walks we have to the small talks we do...
From the kisses you plant to the crushing hugs you give...
I save the memories each day...

And you away from me...
For life will sure play the same game as it does every other day....
But remember my dear, I will be there ever and forever for you as like today...Featured Shared StoryNicely narrated. The poem touched me very deeply. I'd like to see more poems of this nature from the poet.

But I pray even more that God blesses you most. -
16. From Daddy
When you feel a hand rest upon your Mum,
And you hear the sound of a low deep hum,
I hope you know, and to yourself think gladly,
This touch and voice is of my Daddy.
It's still early days but you've got my heart,
And I know that this is just the start,
Because from now on and forevermore,
I will love you, cherish you, and always adore.
Every day my love for you grows,
And I hope to you this already shows,
I will do everything I can to make you see,
That you will always mean the world to me.
And from today until the day you're born,
I swear to keep the oath I've sworn,
You and Mum will always be cared for,
Protection is the oath I swore.
Not just to protect, but to always love,
Because you were a gift from above,
I never thought I would feel this way,
But now I can't wait until next May.
For when the day that you arrive,
I would have never before felt so alive,
You'll bring a tear straight to my eye,
And you'll look at me and you'll know why.
Because you will be the greatest gift,
And my heart and soul you will uplift,
That feeling there will be hard to beat,
From that moment on my life's complete.
But for now you sleep inside your Mummy,
Keep warm and snug inside her tummy,
And I'll look forward to the day you're here,
To take my heart when you appear.
So when you feel that hand on Mum,
And hear the sound of my low deep hum,
I know you'll know and for that I'm glad,
That here with Mum is your very proud Dad.Featured Shared StoryThis poem made me tear up.. it's so beautiful! My dad had moved 2,000 miles away from me and never told me he left, until he wanted me to see him every summer and miss my little brother's...

18. As I Watch You Sleep
I watched a little face sleeping,
Eyelashes fluttering so,
I wondered of the dream you were having,
and if Angels were playing there.

Your little mouth was smiling so,
I hope that you are as happy as me,
holding you in my arms.
I watched a little face sleeping,
making sure of the breath you take,
to watch you breathe and keep you safe,
is all that matters to me.
I watched a little face sleeping,
holding your small hand in mine,
five little fingers on each hand,

watch a little face sleeping. -

20. I Love You
I love your brown eyes
I love your button nose
I love your messy morning hair
and your teeny, tiny toes
I love your big bright smile
and your little pearly whites
I love your pointy chin
and your silky smooth skin
I love your long little fingers
and your chubby little cheeks
I love your ducky walk
and your never ending talk
I love it when you sing
and start splashing the bath
I love it when you sleep
snuggled in my arms
I love you with all my heart
no matter what it may be
Sometimes I love for no reason
and sometime because you're my sweet honeybee.
