I watched my baby cry, and grow

I see his smile – he recognises emotion, he notices

What a wonderful world

I’ve danced aimlessly

On my own,

holding hands with him,

as a family

Our hands touch, our heads touch

He makes an honest comment which leaves us laughing, deeply laughing

I love his innocent perceptiveness

My troubles fade away

I forget my deadlines, my commitments, my meetings

I forget my writing, my work

Faith is here – the evidence of things previously not seen

I just thank the Lord

I have found the happiness I seek

I’ve seen our dream, and watched him bloom

I believe

What a wonderful world
