HEARTBEAT

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
