Micah Jacob Gerges


This poem is about my nephew Micah. He was born on Saturday at 10:39 pm and he is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

When I first saw your tiny face,
It drilled a hole into my heart.
And everything inside drained out
Until I held you in my arms.

I saw you and my arms went stiff,
Then my shoulders started to ache.
I never knew I’d fall in love
With the first glance that I would take.

Your tiny hands and cute little nose,
Your sleep-closed but still beautiful eyes.
I said your name, and I could swear
I saw your lips begin to smile.

God’s awesome wonder shrunk into
The perfect baby that is you.
