The feeling of the first smile

If I could bottle up this feeling

The one of my firstborn’s first smile

If I could bottle up this feeling 

The one of sudden sunshine 

If I could bottle up this feeling 

The one of my creation looking back at me

Returning the sentiment I feel

If I could bottle up this feeling

The one that makes all the cries alright

If I could bottle up this feeling 

That maybe 

Just maybe 

I’ve done alright 

If I could bottle up this feeling

That I know is fleeting 

The one that reassures me

That it’s all worth it.
