A Child Is Born

So rare a gift bestowed
To hold the future in your hands
Your legacy in life
Your values to unfold…
A chance to make and mold
The person you were naught
Make perfect the mistakes
Live dreams you often sought
Make reality the vision
That never came to be…
You hold within your hands
A challenge none can equal
The actress in the leading role
The star in your life’s sequel
The future’s in your hands
The world’s waiting for your plans.
