POETIC TRIBUTE TO THE NEWEST-BORN
(A new-born child is nature - undefiled)
Rose-petals, pure, unfolding form the bud.
A life conceived in love and mystery.
A new-born child, arriving on the scene,
Awaiting, now, your hour of destiny!
Encumbered as we are, with doubts and fears,
What can we promise you, in future years?
In spite of all the progress we have mad -
Which benefits our life's amenities -
This world has nothing new to offer you
Except the many opportunities
That each day brings to be transformed, somehow,
Into the full and ever lasting now.
Each Yesterday, by Time's relentless Loom,
Is weaved into oblivion's tapestry.
The past, by Lethe's rapid stream, must be
Carried, away to the Eternal Sea.
And every Tomorrow shall pass this way,
Most surely, through the doorway of Today.
Our hopes and prayers all are strongly bound
That you may live as we now live and more:
To glean the richest harvest from the years.
To gather golden fruit from wisdom's lore.
That you may yet achieve life's purpose true!
That fortune's beaming face shall smile on you!
