First grandchild on the way

To think I haven't met you yet
And I already adore you
I haven't held you in my arms
but I'm already in awe of you.
Your mother sent the sonogram
My heart was touched by the outline
Your tiny body, curled and calm
That has me humming lullabies
Made me remember of the day
Your mom arrived, like yesterday!
And I just follow your outline
Your head, the legs, and tiny arms
And think of hugs, soft blanket's creases
Warming your body, while you are sleeping
And baby scent, and toys and kisses
Already loving you to pieces!
