This scrap of life,
this repository of future hopes,
is entrusted to our love and care.
Can we meet the challenge, do we dare
such responsibility to face?
Oh child, you are
an empty page, soon to be
written on by the world's unwieldy pen.
There will be heartaches, but until then
you will grow in our warm embrace.
