Tears of Joy

Tears of joy Ran down her face As she held her baby boy In a tender embrace Enfolding him with loving care This moment wasn't one to share A precious time to get to know And teach this heaven-sent newborn How to grow, Into a strong and loving boy Who made his Mother shed tears of joy

This is beautiful. True you should teach a newborn the art of being good.

No, Deb He is not expected until Christmas Day. The poem is about all Mothers who have just given birth and the time they share with the baby on their own.
