Nothing beats the excitement and expectation
Of the newborn! So much hope - so much happiness!
This is new life - the seeds of union; of love manifested
In the newborn, the loving pieces of a family,
...
Poems are like drops of rain falling from the heavens above,
Poems are shards of wisdom; pieces of granite cleaved
By the hammering of the soul through life's hard lessons
Learned and life's hard lesson's won.
...
Quiet at last!
Soothing serenity permeates the air,
Soundless sacredness seeps into,
Surrounds and sedates me.
