Love’s Gift Is Life

Into your lives
A precious gift arrives
Conceived of your love
Blessed by those above

Alexander is his name
Courage and wisdom his claim
You will view the world anew
For his discoveries will not be few

Born without foundation
Life lessons be your donation
Needing acceptance and love
It is what you are made of

Let no fear enter
A soul so tender
Only with love and patience
Will his soul soar with independence

His future is yours to mould
But do not let fear take hold
For as parents, you see
You will be the best you can be
