It was a miracle how you came into our lives
As you reached out for a gentle hug
That was only the start
For you reached out to get a hug
And instead you took our hearts!

You were drawn to us in such a special way
That brought tears of joy to our eyes
How delightful and how wonderful
And what a joyous surprise!

You reached out in wonder and love for the world
And as your eyes rested on each new thing
We saw them through your baby eyes
And it was like welcoming the birth of spring.

Oh, God above could not bless us any more
Than He has done for us today
For He has bestowed on us more joy
Than our words could ever say!

And for now and ever more
When we count our blessings here on earth
We will thank the Lord in Heaven
For the precious mother who gave you birth.
