Happiness
Holding the newborn baby in your arms
Angelic face looking up at you
Proud new parent still breathless and weak
Pitiful cry of hunger or possibly insecurity
I cradle him close, sharing my body heat
Not knowing him long, but loving him just the same
Every happy experience from the past, now pushed aside
Skin so pale, baby eyes so blue, his secret baby smile
Sister sharing her joy and part of herself with me
