on the day you were born

On the day you were born

Spring was welcoming full blooms

Life was awakening

Sprouting life

On the day you were born

The sun shone bright with 

Warm light, gentle breeze trickled through the leaves 

Above our heads

On the day you were born i was learning about the plants

My phone in Lauras pocket

Its ringing she said 

It was the news of your arrival!

Such joyful news

On the day you were born 

On the day you were born

I called Nanima and Baba

Nanima was very excited

Her voice rising up and out

Baba was sitting in the sun

Sounding like the slow wisdom of the elements

On the day you were born

We were all full of love

We were all so excited

To welcome you
