celestial smile gold halo while birthing child love afterglow proud Father’s face painted relief and joy Red eyes cry excited emerald voice Little baby birthed after a journey Nine months in captivity of mom’s tummy The nose is hers the eyes are his Lips so curved fretting in crib Baby’s hair soft curly and fine Looking like an angel so divine Doctors and nurses or midwife All celebrating birth of new life There is an aura of hazel happiness Amber afterglow hearts so blessed
