First Born

What of those dreams that in our mind
Seek distant hopes and in them find
That love and life may be combined

Awakening, our thoughts commence
Become aware of real events
And all new life soon represents

Approaching wisdom born in birth
Exposes fundamental worth
Of all that’s meaningful on Earth

That as the coming life unfolds
Despite all history could mold
Remains a future yet untold

But now, with lacking confidence
In yet unproven competence
Impatiently face providence

Until that moment of delight
To smile absurdly at the sight
Learn everything of life … is right

JOYS and TEARS of being AN EXPECTANT PARENT (mother-father)
