To Tanya Fuqua

NEW BABY

Here I am world
I bring you gifts from the spirit
Joy to melt your heart
Laughter to touch your soul
Peace beyond belief
Happiness you never experienced
Love you never knew

Here I am world
Wrapped in star dust
Freshly kissed by angels
Innocent as a lamb
Trusting as a baby

Here I am world
Ready to learn
Anxious to grow
Excited to be here
You are my teachers
What will you have me learn?
