neonate 
        so beautiful
with eyes
        full of wonder
ever so peaceful
        mom's pinky
tightly
        on the palm 
of his
        tiny hand;
glue-like bond      
between Mom and son
as dad looks on, beaming
        with
with euphoric pride

 (Yalto)

Thinking ahead, are you? lol You've created a beautiful image of what you'll be doing soon, and in your own poetic form. Well written, Edward. Hoping everything is going well for all three of you.
