HEARTBEAT
Ray Finch
Bright lights, then noise all around
Never before have I heard these sounds
Aww’s and Ahh’s and little sighs
Then I do, what baby’s do, and start to cry
So it’s back to mother and in her arms for me
Dad’s standing there as proud as can be
Mother speaks to me as only she can
Your life’s now before you my little man
It’s a new canvas, white and plain
For you to fill in, as your life starts to gain
You have 2.5 billion, but use them with care
Make every one count while you’re still there
We all want to see and we all want to know
So paint on that canvas as your life starts to grow
As we now look, the canvas is coloured and glowing
In our hearts and minds all of us knowing
We’ve followed your life the good and the pain
And sooner or later we will meet you again
