It's dark at first
But then the sunlight comes
Feelings of uncertainty cloud the mirth
Once my new life has begun
It's cold in here, and bright
But strong hands hold me close
And soon, it all feels right
And I feel a connection to these two the most
I'm not sure what's going on here
But I'm sure they'll let me know
It all seems so white and clear
And for my part, I'm the center of the show
As they crowd around, I don't know what to think
They all seem to be illuminated and full of joy
When I'm twenty-one, will I have my first drink?
When I'm thirty-six, will I look into the eyes of my newborn boy?
It's all ahead, like an empty highway in the desert
The possibilities make me weak with anticipation
But no matter what, I know it'll all be okay
And I'll always have a guide through life's situations
(As I write, my sister-in-law has gone to the hospital to possibly deliver my new neice or nephew.)
Have a great day!
***UPDATE!***
My nephew was born on Friday the 13th. As you may or may not know...13 is a lucky number. But little sweetness is good luck anyway, as we know!!!

This is my first nephew...and I have a Sweet Pea neice as well. My brother had asked years ago that I not post about them, as he wishes to keep them private. I have to respect his wishes, but had to mention the birth, as I was too excited about it.
Congrats on the new nephew! They are too much fun. You can buy them all the noisy toys in the world and smile as you see them being loaded into the car. Happy spoiling and giving the new little one lots of love! :)
shpprgrl: Thanks for stopping by and for the nice wishes!
I agree: It's nice to be The Aunt. :)
