The Birth of a Baby
We celebrate the birth of a baby
offering love and congratulations.
And welcome a new life into the world
fueled by a parent's expectations.
The birth of an offspring is momentous
for immortality is achieved thus.
Only they can carry our genes forward
ensuring that death cannot erase us.
As the beneficiary of our genes
we get incorporated into theirs.
And although mortality can never
achieve forever, they're our backstairs.
Every link before us and thereafter
gets forged into a genetic chain.
For through procreation we can ensure
that throughout time our presence will remain.
(Quatrain)
