You are an element of my body  
Progeny of my soul 
The core of my being 
I look at you and lose sight of myself 
My child, my sweet Annabel 
 
A gift from the Invincible One 
The only One 
That can hold time and space 
And bring forth an existence  
 
What a miraculous fulfilment  
A grace so beautiful 
So overwhelming, so unbelievable 
A gift so intense and so perfect
