Sweet Poem for New Parents
By Michele Meleen
No amount of planning
could prepare us
to see your face,
to feel so full of grace,
too long for your embrace.
Thanks to your sweet smile
we can end our dream's race
because you are our happy place.
A Parent's Love
By Michele Meleen
Like the sky above
steadfast, forever you see
parent's love, baby.
From Daddy
By Michele Meleen
You give me superhuman strength
and enough love to save the world.
My precious baby you have turned
me into your personal superhero.
Whenever you cry
I'll jump, I'll fly,
I'll run, I'll teleport
to get to you
and stop your cry
with Daddy's super love.
From Mommy
By Michele Meleen
I've known you now for nine long months
never able to see or hold you.
This moment is more fulfilling
than even I ever knew.
My newborn love I get to hold
and show what your Mommy can do.
The Funny Thing About Newborns
By Michele Meleen
The funny thing about newborns
is they're like terrible little thieves.
They steal your thoughts
and steal your mind
then steal your heart.
But, instead of keeping it
all for themselves
They give you back
more than they stole.

My Baby, You Are an Inspiration

The journey was long
you were patient and serene
my inspiration.
Wishes for My Newborn
By Michele Meleen
If a genie granted me
three wishes, Wow!
