Because

Beautiful baby boy from out of the
ether.  Such a gift this
cherished child for a mother and father
already waiting, already wanted
until the end of all time.
Sweet son, grown now wordly and wise,
ever and always adored.


        for Matt Caliri's "I Love You Because ... " contest

Aw! I had to look up "ether" (I thought it was a poison used to kill butterflies) But hey; it also means substance from unattainable heavens. Good diction!
