12. Tears Of Joy

Oh tiny little babies that kick inside of me
How anxious you seem to get on with your lives

If I could read your thoughts, I would surely know
That you anticipate your entrance into this exciting world

Already you know the pleasures of a gentle caress
And the closeness I feel sleeping in your father’s arms

You’ve experienced the joys of sipping fine wines and champagnes
And tasting a simple burger and the sweetness of fresh fruits

By the kicks of your tiny feet, I know the excitement you know
When you hear the barks of dogs at play

Although you cannot yet see, I know that you yearn to look upon
The snow flakes as they drift just outside our windows

I can feel the rhythm move through your bodies as our stereo
Serenades you with a cornucopia of musical delights

I know you appreciate the sweet mutterings of two lovers and
All the tenderness that life has to offer when you feel my gaze upon your dwelling

Despite all the trials and tribulations that you will one day encounter
You already know that I will always be there to watch over you

Most of all, you know the love I feel for you when my thoughts drift to you
Tears well up in my eyes and slowly fall to my cheeks

Oh tiny little babies that kick inside me
Know that the tears you will soon shed will bring us nothing but joy
