What is it like to hear the joyous sound
Of children laughing while they play outside?
Or feet running swiftly to your bedside
In fear of thunderstorms that shake the ground.
What is it like to sing a child to sleep?
Or teach them how to sweetly say your name?
What is it like to think of a nickname
To use when they are in a silly heap?
So when your life appears into this world,
Oh will you share your joys and love with me?
Teach me how to love in frustration,
And how to to be gentle when you are curled
Up in my lap when peaceful nights are nigh.
I can't wait for the wonderful sensation!
