We who now greet you,
will lavish our love upon you until,
one day, like a fledgling,
you will flutter away from the nest,
to face what the world has to offer.
Now you smile back at us as we welcome you
and marvel at Nature's natal process.
You, comfortable, dry,
and smelling of your mother’s milk,
will not remember these early times,
but perhaps, one future day,
you will say to your new-born child:
“Welcome to this uncertain world.”
