The beauty of love sleeps amidst the stars

Shining twinkling so soft yet reassuring

As happiness, joy and glee spar

The silent elegance of romance flaps its wings

Rain may tick against the window

But your comfort should keep your baby warm

Since this began you both wore a brilliant glow

Strong and determined you shall weather any storm

Rashid will provide balance, guidance, and love

Ashley will provide care, thoughtfulness, and love

Each step down this path of parenting

Will be a task unparalleled in history

The rewards will let your soul sing

Leave your heart crying tears of happy

Each heartbeat is your love telling you it’s real

Each adoring glance, each finger that’s grasped

Is an emotion only parents have the bliss to feel

The assignment with which you have been tasked

Is nothing less than two who met at a party

Realizing that faith has a plan of its own

From a simple “you are a hottie”

To watching a piece of them grow

Kissing an angel’s cheek

Holding miracles close and sleeping in light

Your very own baby that soon will speak

And call you mom and dad, doesn’t that sound right
