A newborn out of the womb, takes air into her lungs for the very first time. What beautiful thing; precious bundle of joy announces she's alive with her very first cry; a mellifluous sound. A miraculous debut into the world. She's crying as she's placed into Mom's waiting arms. A treasured blessing; born with a tabula rasa state of mind. Her innocence so pristine. Her piercing cry, a welcoming sound. Words aren't necessary Her message, unequivocally clear... Here I am, a part of humanity, and I'll capture the world! Date written and posted: 02/12/2019

Every fetus deserves to fill their lungs with air...to be given a chance to live! I love it, Edward!
