Your First Breath

Today is my husband's birthday and one of the things I decided to do for him this morning, was to write him a birthday poem. He's always such a huge supporter and encouragement to me with my poetry, and I do write a lot of them about him and us, but his birthday is really quite special for me! ☺️ And we actually were delivered by the same doctor just 3 months apart!!! (The crazy thing is that we didn't find out until we were married and I was going to that same doctor when we were told we wouldn't be able to have kids, and then also when we found out we were expecting our first!)

Anyway, Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband whom we love soooo much!!! We love you and are excited to celebrate you! 

Your First Breath

Today marks the dawn of your first breath

You, man of mine, were born.

The first gasp of your sweet life's path

And I'm blessed you breath still more.

Our story is amazing

God really topped them all

When I was caught by the same hands

That very Doctor, held you first so small.

Our lives lived close together

And at times so far apart

He knew us for each other

And brought me to your heart.

You knew from the first moment

But I needed time to see

That you weren't being flippant

With this heart of mine or me.

I've fallen for your spryness

As you navigate our stroll

I am stayed by your sweet kindness

That first wooed my fearful soul.

We love to celebrate you

The one who makes our days so bright

The Husband and the Daddy who

Works so hard and plays so light.

I'm thankful to our Father

Who brought your life to be

That we can celebrate another

Year on earth and through eternity.
