Primal Scream

Baby takes first breath 
        Let’s out an almighty cry,
       Mum exclaims, Dad smiles

David, I see you have been very prolific. I'm impressed when I see that. You've described something profound. It makes me think how lucky I am to be able to have cognition and experience all life has offered me. I'm also thinking how much work the parents have in front of them. Hopefully they can handle it responsibly. It's a huge task to cradle another human being and get them started on the right track. For some who don't have that luxury, we hope they can still find some bliss. Smiles!!

Indeed Duke, A huge responsibility once the initial exuberance wears off, you raise a very valid point, I find it difficult to quantify how (some) have one after the other, when barely able to feed themselves, I’m talking third world here and the unbreakable cycle of poverty, we are so lucky, cheers David
