A Waiting Heart

In the soft light of morning, a new dawn is near,

Tiny hands will reach for the world without fear.

Gabriel, oh sweet child, your arrival is blessed,

A spirit like no other, you are joy manifest.

Every gentle breeze carries whispers of your name,

Hearts beat faster in love's sweet, untamed game.

With dreams yet unborn and laughter on the way,

You’re a spark of wonder, brightening our day.

The world awaits you with arms Open wide,

Filled with kindness and love to be your guide.

Mountains to climb and oceans so vast,

Gabriel, dear baby, your adventure is cast.

Every blooming flower and tree standing tall

Will tell you their stories, welcoming your call.

You’ll dance with the breezes and splash in the rain,

Creating a tapestry woven with joy and pain.

For instance, did you know that by age three,

Children often start to express empathy?

With each moment of play, you’ll grow and you'll learn,

Each giggle and smile, our hearts will just burn.

In dreams, you will find colors that paint your bright skies,

With laughter as music and wonder in your eyes.

Mountains will echo the sound of your cheer,

With each tender heartbeat, our hope draws you near.

You are loved beyond measure, this we want you to see,

By hearts that have waited and longed endlessly.

With each lesson learned, we will stand by your side,

Through storms and sunshine, in joy and in pride.

Through paths yet untraveled, together we’ll roam,

With family beside you, you’ll never feel alone.

Every step will be a story, each moment a song,

With cheer in our hearts, Gabriel, come along.

From bedtime tales whispered to daylight's first gleam,

We’ll share in your laughter, your hopes, and your dreams.

Your tiny fingers and bright, sparkling eyes

Will light up our lives like stars in the skies.

This love that surrounds you is fierce and so pure,

It will shelter and guide you, always enduring and sure.

In life's swirling chaos, when questions arise,

Know our hearts hold answers as vast as the skies.

With every struggle faced and every small win,

The love you carry within helps you begin.

In friendships that blossom and dreams reaching high,

You’ll discover what makes life a rich, sweet reply.

As days turn into years and seasons unfold,

New stories will bloom, new adventures untold.

With courage as armor and dreams in your heart,

Gabriel, our dear child, this is just the start.

So here’s to your journey, to life as it’s spun,

To laughter, learning, and days full of fun.

With love as your compass, you’ll find your way,

In the tapestry of life, forever you’ll stay.
