On the night you were born,

the moon smiled with such wonder

that the stars peeked in to see you

and the night wind whispered.

“Life will never be the same.”

 

On the night you were born, the whole world came alive with thanksgiving. The moon stayed up till morning. The geese flew home to celebrate. Polar bears danced.

Was given to my 4 kids as a gift, and they delight to read it! It makes every child who hears it believe that they are so special - especially when you whisper their name like the wind! I am searching for copies to give as gifts to every special kid I know!
