Have you ever been given a gift-
something you wanted, to be sure-
and when you opened the package,
were amazed it really was yours?
Imagine you looked in your pocket
for some money you’d tucked in somewhere
and gasped in surprise, ‘cause instead of a five
you found hundreds hidden in there?
We have been given a treasure
and we couldn’t help but share
the riches added to our lives,
the joy that’s been multiplied there.
We’ve been given a gift we so wanted:
another precious child.
We’re thrilled with our family expansion;
we can’t seem to suppress our smiles.
We are so excited,
and we know you will be too,
for this gift of one more person to love
is a blessing also to you.
We’ve used this little poem
to share with you our good news.
We know you might find it surprising
and you may be a little confused.
So when you’ve had time to think
and are happy for us, too ~
when you have joyful words about what you’ve heard,
we look forward to hearing from you!
Some things need emphasizing: It's very important, you see,
that we see only reactions of happiness, smiles and glee!
So once you've had time to digest it, and been able to ponder it all,
when you have a nice word about all that you've heard,
feel free to give us a call!
