Born Today Poem by Jim Yerman

Born today is a wonder…
a life innocent, precious…and new
Born today is a miracle…
Born today…is you.

Born today is a mom and dad…
whose life will never be the same.
Born when they first saw you enter this world…
born when they said your name.

Yesterday they were two…
but today the count is three.
no longer just a couple…
born today is a family.

Born today are grandmas and grandpas,
even great and great great ones too
Born today are aunts and uncles and cousins…
just to name a few.

Born today are smiles on many faces…
smiles…also innocent and new.
Born when they heard you finally arrived…
born because of you.

Born today are a lifetime of wishes…
carrying a host of different themes…
wishes for a wonderful life…
filled with love and hopes and dreams.

Born today is a new kind of happiness for your family
born the moment you came into view…
Born today is unconditional love…
born today…with you…

Born today are all these little miracles and more…
you see, that's what miracles will do…
They tend to change the world…
all this….
because of you.
