One of my favorite childrens books ever is called Love Song For A Baby. I bought it for E as a baby and now, with a new little wee one, some of the lyrical prose always seem to be on the tip of my tongue. ............
Before the first stars blazed in your sky,
before the sun ever kissed you,
before you cried your first cry,
we loved you...
....Your laughter was the sun.
Your smile, the moon.
Even your burps were bells,
since we loved you.
You burst upon our world like a comet,
like bird song
in the silver silence of dawn,
and how could we help
but love you?
