My keiki, my child,
I welcome you into this world!
another being, a new life
God's true love unfolds.
I hear you cry as I hold you
close to my heart
I sing to you sweet lullabies
hush...my darling baby,
nothing, shall keep us apart
overwhelmed with joy weary and tired,
I seemed to be
I looked at you, and you smiled back at me
those tiny hands, and little feet
I count them endlessly,
your funny hiccups and peaceful yawns,
nothing else matters more to me.
I feel fulfilled!
my keiki, my child,
my little precious one,
for I am a mother...yours
