I heard your cry as you first breathed air
The moment that you were born I was there
and heard your cry as you first breathed in air.
Thrilled by the sheer beauty of your small frame
We decided that Ruth would be your name.
Such memories indelibly remain
imprinted on my mind so clear and plain.
You looked so beautiful and so complete
wrapped up in a bundle so small and neat.
Tenderly holding you close to my side
‘Thank You my Lord', my heart with wonder cried.
'This miracle of life held in my embrace
was a boundless gift to us by God's grace.'
This gorgeous baby so fair and bright
has cheered my life bringing me great delight.
Praying for you every day as you grew
we enjoyed watching the baby grow into you.
