The Heartbeat
Babump, babump.
A new life begins.
Home to an eternal soul.
Babump, babump.
It grows,
even though no one knows.
The very beginning
of a loving bond
between mother and child.
The Light of Life Shines Bright.
Ten tiny fingers
and ten tiny toes,
counted by a beaming dad.
A grateful mother reaching out
to cuddle her newborn
to her chest.
Tears of joy
running down her cheeks.
His favorite
lemon-iced birthday cake.
His first boo-boo,
fixed with a hug,
a kiss,
and a Band-Aid.
Proud, tearful parents
watching their son leave home
on his first day of college.
A giving, loving mother
awaiting her first grandchild.
A mother and son
holding hands
in a dark hospital room,
sharing how much
they mean to each other
on the night her light
dims...
flickers...
then goes out
here on Earth.
A grieving son
who knows he has
a legacy of love
to forward
to his children
and grandchildren.
Or...
Babump.
Babump.
Babump.
Babu...
A Choice.
An Earthly Light
goes out here on Earth.
A Golden Beacon of Light
shoots down from Heaven...
on a Mission of Love.
