A little break from the relentless cycle of negative news...

The New News -- Happy Views

T   housands of newborns today
     H   ope in each full-throated cry
     E   bullient parents fly high

     E   very thought, their every prayer
     W  inging its way Upstairs

     N   ews in Heaven spreads fast
     E   very angel well-pleased
     W   ith all the positive news
     S   hare it in millions of views

Parents happy, angels rejoicing, you make the birth of a child a joyful celebration. Reminded me of the birth of my son. Take care Rama

Amazing to imagine all the angels rejoicing at each new birth! This is a perspective we don't think about enough, all the views we are getting from above.

That’s lovely Gershon, a new birth is always good news, tiny miracles so small and sweet, perfection from head to tiny hands and feet... Belle
