I saw your heart/For our baby (26/09/01)

I wrote this about a week before the birth of our first child. It mostly about the sudden love that you feel for this child that you have never seen before except on a scan monitor.

I saw your heart
And fell in love
I saw your hand
And wanted to hold it
I saw your body
And wanted to lift it
I saw your legs
And wanted to strengthen them
I saw your back
And wanted to stroke it
I saw your brain
And wanted to teach it
I saw your face
And wanted to kiss it
I saw your wave
I waved back.
