baby's first bath

a wondrous world greets
drops of water sprinkled on~
a sweet ritual

all dirt washed away
love bubbles born in mom's palms~
soft skin glistens fresh

a new journey starts
bathed in mother's liquid love~
horizons wide wait.

Congrtulations Valsa on sharing the top win in this contest with a lovely set of haiku on the ritual of sprinkling a few water drops on a new born that starts his/her new journey of live "bathed in a mother`s liquid love.". Loved reading it again and again. Wish you a blessed day.

Yes, those wide horizons do wait for each child that is born, but we never know what this earth has in store. So much can happen in this day's world. This one reads like a good contender to me for the contest. Way to go. Thank you for sharing it with us. Sara K.
