Jaxon

God has sent you an utterly amazing gift from above
Your baby boy Jaxon to hold, cherish and love

Jaxon is a miracle brought to you on New Year’s Eve day
His precious face is sure to bring you joy in everyway

So each night as you hold him and slowly rock him to sleep
Take in every moment and memory for they are yours to keep

Each day a new milestone and adventure is sure to unfold
But as the months turn to years he’ll soon be too big to hold

For one day he’ll be teething and learning to stand
The next he will be stepping up to base with a bat in his hand

So make sure to take the time each day to kiss his little fingers and toes
Because it is hard to imagine how quickly the time truly goes

So the laundry and dishes can wait, let the house be a mess
There is no greater thing than his smile to undo the stress

And sure the hours can be long and the pay is not much
But your heart will be filled with love each time you feel his touch

When you bring a child into this world you experience a love unlike any other
The greatest accomplishment you can achieve in this life is being a mother

If there is only one piece of advice I can give you today
You can never love him too hard, too much or too long, no way
