Beyond Beautful
The most beautiful thing on Earth to me,
is the human baby just new born.
So helpless and so innocent,
I want to protect it from the world.
It has been many years since I
have claimed one as my very own,
but I still hold the poignant memory
of falling love with a perfect being.
It looks at one with wide, wise eyes
As though it could see to the depths of the soul
and nestles into loving arms
seemingly aware it has come home.
Perfect features in miniature,
stamped by ancestors it cannot know.
Nothing is so lovely as he or she,
the human infant just new born.
