HEAVEN'S GIFT
Today is a very monumental day. It is the day my niece was born. She wasn't due until January 10, but it looks like she decided to drop in early. Even now, it hasn't quite sunk in. Me, an aunt! A part of me thinks this is all a dream, and that I'll wake up from it any minute. I even pinched myself to be sure I was awake.
Not long after returning home from the hospital, the idea for this poem came to mind. I had no trouble writing it down.
Dedicated to Elizabeth Gwenevere Heath.

The skin of velvet
The eyes of sapphire
The scent of a flower
The face of an angel
More precious than silver
More valuable than gold
The rarest of jewels
The greatest treasure
So tiny
So innocent
So beautiful
So perfect
