Something Beautiful

Baby newborn incubated in a tiny cylinder Soon free breathing on her own… Her parent’s glee when she shyly smiles Her doctor’s silent plea that she thrive A beautiful little sweet pea so fully alive SECOND PLACE WINNER written October 29, 2021 especially for "Something Beautiful 5 Line" poetry contest sponsored by Charles Messina

Funny, Gershon, I had the same thought (Olive and Popeye) when I was writing this. Amazing how "great" minds think a like! (chuckling)
