The Newborn

.             We had a call -
            Some happy news,
          A baby was
         In six months due.

        The news was great to hear
       And when asked how they felt
       They said that all of time
        Into one day had melt.

         Each week held something new for them
          As they walked in this new-found dream;
           While changes formed within the womb
           To proud eyes brought a joyful gleam.

           It's odd how life had changed
          For two excited souls
        As now they planned for three
       To set their lifetime goals.

     And then he/she came
     In newborn pink:
      All future and
       All past to link.
