1. My Perfect Gift

Poet Introduction
- By Sandra Hearth
- Published: January 2019 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
The Gift Of Life

To celebrate is to embrace an act of wonder and joy,
To show the whole world you have a girl or a boy.

A date that will be written forever in time,

To celebrate is to embrace an act of wonder and joy,
To show the whole world you have a girl or a boy.

A date that will be written forever in time,
A life, a love, a child of mine.

Tiny fingers and perfect toes,
Rosy pink cheeks and a little button nose.

A true miracle, you are born tonight.
In my arms, I cannot stop staring as I hold you tight.

Held close beside my heart, I gently sway.
You're exactly 20 minutes old; you're here to stay.

My precious gift, my child, my light,
You are everything that's perfect; you are just right.

So hello, my angel; I'd just like to say,
Welcome my darling, and happy birthday!

Poet Introduction
- By Cindy Hawkins
- Published: June 2009 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
So I am sitting here thinking of the perfect words to say,
to tell you how I feel about the arrival of your birthday.

I am feeling a little nervous, with hopes I do everything right,

So I am sitting here thinking of the perfect words to say,
to tell you how I feel about the arrival of your birthday.

I am feeling a little nervous, with hopes I do everything right,
but I can't wait to be your mommy, every waking day and every sleepy night.

I have so many plans and things for us to do,
So I sit here in anticipation just waiting to meet you.

You already mean the world to me and so, so much more.
I can't wait to be your mommy, that's all I'm waiting for.

Mine and your bags are packed and waiting in the car,
because the day that you will be here isn't very far.

So here I sit thinking of the perfect words to say,
But all that comes to mind is I can't wait to be your mommy every single day!!!!

3. An Ode To Ethan

Poet Introduction
- By Joyce Baron Kerr
- Published: March 2011 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Poem From A Father On The Birth Of His Son

Today it happened,
it's finally done,
the birth of my boy,
the little man, my son.

Today it happened,
it's finally done,
the birth of my boy,
the little man, my son.

After a long, tiring wait,
a sweet sound came,
the point when our lives
would never be the same.

It was the sound of the cries,
signaling the start of new life.
I can't describe how proud I am,
of my brave and beautiful wife.

I'll admit that I, too,
cried tears of joy.
When for the very first time,
I at last saw my boy.

As I stood there in awe,
and gazed down at his face,
in an instant the world
became a much better place.

My heart was bursting
with an intense sense of pride,
as I pictured my life
with my son at my side.

I know it's early days,
and we've only just met,
but I promise I'll be
the best father a boy can get.

I'll love you forever,
my son and my wife,
keep you safe and protect you
for all of my life.

4. Happy Birthday
- By Lamanda K. Strong
- Published: July 2006 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
Precious Gift Of Baby

Did I ever tell you about the day you were born?
When laid in my arms was such an angelic form
With soft black hair, little fingers and toes
The cutest of ears and a kiss on your nose

Did I ever tell you about the day you were born?
When laid in my arms was such an angelic form
With soft black hair, little fingers and toes
The cutest of ears and a kiss on your nose
A heart beating fast and deep, blue eyes
Taking my breath with your very first cries
You look up at me and the world melts away
I never knew love until this day
I've waited so long to see your face
Welcome, my son, to this place
Though it may come with pain and strife
Here you earn your eternal life
But don't worry, my baby, you are not alone
He has chosen me to give you a home
I did nothing to deserve such a blessing as this
But I'll forever cherish this precious gift
Wherever in this life you choose to go
This one thing I want you to know
Here in my heart my baby you'll be
Because I love you and you matter to me

5. An Angel From Heaven
- By Ron Tranmer
- Published: May 2011 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
An angel from Heaven
who'd been waiting for birth,
is excited to be joining
your family on Earth.

An angel from Heaven
who'd been waiting for birth,
is excited to be joining
your family on Earth.

An angel far envied
up there in the blue,
when learned its parents
down here would be you.

Baby angels need care
leaving Father above.
They hope for a family
where there's lots of love.

Where God's light shines brightly
within welcome doors.
A home filled with happiness.
A home just like yours!

6. My Angel

Poet Introduction
- By Heather R. Carpenter
- Published: March 2017 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
The Day My Daughter Entered This World

In the wee hours of morn,
A miracle took place when my daughter was born

With coal black hair and rosy cheeks and eyes that sparkled blue.

In the wee hours of morn,
A miracle took place when my daughter was born

With coal black hair and rosy cheeks and eyes that sparkled blue.
Washed away was all the pain that I had just been through.

As you were placed into my arms, I looked down at your beautiful face.
I drew you closer to my heart where forever you have a place.

It's amazing how in an instant my life took on a new meaning.
So overwhelming were my emotions. I felt as if I was dreaming.

As I looked at my tiny angel that was sent to me from above,
I closed my eyes and thanked the Lord for this baby girl to love!

7. Everything And Nothing

Poet Introduction
- By Toni

Poem To Unborn Child

There you are inside me, you're on your way,
I'm more and more excited and scared every day.
Everything is so different and changed,
Life as I've known it - all rearranged.

There you are inside me, you're on your way,
I'm more and more excited and scared every day.
Everything is so different and changed,
Life as I've known it - all rearranged.

You stretch and wiggle and move as you grow,
My belly gets bigger, my face stays aglow.
You're a strong little guy - your big muscles show,
You cracked mommy's rib just a few days ago!

Daddy's changing too - he's as proud as can be,
He's so attentive to mommy's every want and need.
Rubbing my belly, he talks to you every night,
He comes to every appointment to make sure you're alright,

The doc said, "It's a girl" but didn't write it in ink,
We assumed he was right and got lots and lots of pink.
We went in for a 3-D, found a penis, "It's a boy!"
Our faces in shock, but our hearts... full of joy.

I've fallen in love with your handsome little face -
I show off your pictures all over the place!
On stamps, on invitations, to everyone I meet,
You look just like your daddy with your chubby little cheeks!

There's so much inside me and everything's new...
New thoughts, new fears, new emotions, and you!
I already love you like I've never felt before,
I wonder how there could possibly be room for more.

Can I teach you respect, show you love, make you strong?
Will you know in an instant that this is where you belong?
You'll teach me patience, show me strength, make me grow -
I'll learn from you every day - you lead and I'll follow.

I have so many worries as we prepare,
Our pockets are empty but we'll make it - I swear.
Can I be a good mother? Will you be okay?
I promise you everything...
...and NOTHING will stand in my way.

8. Baby Girl - A Father's Perspective

Poem About A Newborn

Who would have thought,
to my surprise,
The day I looked in my daughter's eyes,
That I would find my sunshine,

Who would have thought,
to my surprise,
The day I looked in my daughter's eyes,
That I would find my sunshine,
my star,
my pearl,
All the thoughts in my head,
of this little girl.
You came to me late on the twentieth of November,
That day in my life,
I will always remember.
I did not know who I was as a man,
'till the moment you were placed inside my hands.
And it was at that split moment,
when you opened your eyes,
your true identity was no longer disguised.
As the lights glistened,
in your beautiful eyes,
Inside I slowly started to cry.
I was given an angel, from heavens above,
The final test as a man,
A little girl to love.
I believe by God,
I must have been touched.
I love you, Julianna,
I love you so much.

Your face lights up,
whenever you smile,
A glow that can last an endless mile.
Your brothers,
they love you,
your mom and I the same,
You are the completion to our circle,
the caboose on our train.

9. The Beginning
- By Kent L. Bijou
- Published: November 2006 by Family Friend Poems with the permission of the Author.
She looks at me with half closed eyes,
As if to pierce my soul.
The sounds she makes are strong and firm
For one just moments old

She looks at me with half closed eyes,
As if to pierce my soul.
The sounds she makes are strong and firm
For one just moments old
With skin still soft from life's ordeal
She muscles up a whine
Small fingers reach, yet never touch
But sure they will in time
For life's begun, and all is new
So many things to learn
She's not the first one nor the last
We've each once had our turn.
