First Words to Ty

Juli

I know how you feel
My scared little one
For I am frightened too
It was nine long months
Then a single moment
Changes all we thought we knew

Happy in the darkness
The warmth of my womb
You scream at the cold and the bright
Welcome to your world
Come in and come home
Let Mama hold you tight
