The Scan

Today I examined a picture,

It was my first ever picture of you.

You were beautiful and peaceful,

Right from the very start!

Your eyes were closed,

There was a smile on your face.

You were dreaming your dreams

Of a wonderful life, which is yet to be.

This scan has given us prescience divine, 

Of Glories we cannot yet behold!

 

Your hands were lying at your sides,

Hands which we so long to hold.

We imagine what those hands will achieve,

The mark on the world which your life will leave.

 

We are eagerly waiting for your flag to unfurl. 

You are Adam and Scarlett's little girl!
