*W*hen children are born it's a wonderous thing.
*H*earing its cry opens mothering love.
*E*very new heartbeat reminds us of spring.
*N*ew life, new hope from creator above.
*A*nyone being there around this place
*C*herishes memories, stores more to last.
*H*oarding the smile of an innocent face,
*I*nter-relating with memories past.
*L*earning to know a wind-grin from a smile
*D*eepens the contact and makes us feel great.
*I*n these deep moments we all have a while
*S*miling and cooing to try and translate.
*B*ut all the laughter and joy that we know
*O*pens in us 'cause a child made it so.
*R*ight at the start when it made our heart sing,
*N*obody questioned this feeling of love
*I*f we looked closer t'would make our heads ring
*T*o know what treasure we have from above.
*I*n wiser moments, that sweet little face
*S*orts our soul-searching, erases our past.
*A*ll of our failings will go to a place,
*M*ended by one little smile that is vast.
*I*n one split second they cure us of bile,
*R*ages are buried and anger can wait.
*A*fter a while we just echo that smile,
*C*ured and forgetting all thought that was hate.
*L*et us give thanks for this wonder, and know
*E*very new miracle child helps us grow.
