My palms are sweating,
my skin is cold,
But yet I know,
I must be bold,
For there she lays,
all for the taking,
Somehow I must,
calm down the shaking.
With racing heart,
my arms extend,
Cease now this fear,
this apprehend.
Anticipation
mixed with fear,
I'm quaking now,
my hands so near,
The time is ripe,
I make my move,
She cries out
in disapprove,
It matters not,
I hold her tight,
My baby girl,
born just tonight.

(no congratulations in order, just a reminisce of long, long ago)

What unique and gentle quaking in the presence of a perfect baby girl. Congrats!
By far the most precious of firsts. ThisDiamond

I like the suprise ending.. I didn't expect it at first which made me smile that much more when I encountered it!
