An Inch of
Wonder
Though but an inch of wonder, Mom,
My heart beats rapidly.
And pretty soon my ears will hear
When Daddy sings to me.
This tiny thumb has found my mouth,
I know this must be home,
And when you rock me gently, Mom
I don't feel all alone.
It's getting cramped and when I kick
My Daddy laughs with joy,
Is that his hand caressing me?
Is he praying for a boy?
I sense your overwhelming pride,
But know you are afraid,
Our God will guide your every move,
Oh Mommy, it's okay.
Nine months feels like eternity,
I'm eager to be held,
And when they place me on your chest
Your heart will surely melt.
I understand, I am your first!
You fear this great "unknown,"
To me you'll be the greatest Mom
This world has ever known.
So be assured what waits for you,
As I resume to grow,
Will be the most enormous love,
That you will ever know.
