Ariel

by

Phil Pochurek

It was a winters moon
And nearly full
On the morning that you were born,
And every star that was in the sky
Came out to be counted.
I whispered a prayer
In the cool moonlight
To welcome you to this world,
And to let you know
How much you were wanted.
While back inside
Your mother paced the floor
With calm determination,
She was ready now
To hold you in her arms.
It had been nine months
To the very day
That she carried you in her womb,
Now the time had come at last
For you to be.
With the sureness of a mothers love
She bore you into this world.
A perfect babe, a beautiful girl
You were a wonder to behold.
From a smile in your mothers heart
To a tear of joy in your fathers eye,
Her labor of love was over
The moment we heard you cry.
Then we held you up a fine baby girl
Something we both could tell,
And as we laid you on your mothers breast
We called you by your name,"Ariel".
We waited so long for our prayers to be answered
Then you came into our life
Now all that really matters to us is you.
You brighten up our every day
And give purpose to our lives,
You're the happiness
Behind everything we do.
