A Prayer When a Child is Born

Welcome, welcome to this breathtaking world. We have been waiting for you. Waiting to see your
beautiful face, to hear the sound of your cry, to kiss you, hold you, rock you. You are the fruit of
our love, of our hearts, of our souls.
We have prayed for this day, and now it is here. But no
amount of anticipation could have prepared us for you. You are a miracle. You are a gift from God.
You are ours.
May God watch over you in love and bless you with health. How can we express our
gratitude to You, God? You have sent us a perfect blessing.
Thank You, bless You, Source of all
life.
