Welcome
On October 14th, 2002
At 6:34 in South Hampton, New York
A tiny baby girl
Brand new and alive
Enters the world
For the very first time
Her little face
pure and sweet
Curious eyes wander
Searching for answers
Soon to be revealed
The mother
Crying tears of joy
Looks at her baby
Her child
Her creation
The love of her life
The father
Anxious and excited
Waits for his wife and child
Unaware of what is in store
Tick! Tock! Of the clock on the wall
Waiting to see her face
At long last the reunion begins
A mother and daughter lock eyes
Love sparks
A shimmer glistens in the baby’s eyes
Years have been taken
Hours have been waited
And finally
Their baby is born
After months of medicine
Of Canadian and American family
Youngest in one
Oldest in another
A new baby is born
Another branch in the endless tree
Soon to blossom
In the years to come
Isabella Grace Greenberg
Belle for short
Jewish and Christian
American and Canadian
Absolutely original
And everything in between
