This New Life

Love carries her precious one in arms of care
Joy leaps up in the heart of the parent aware
Peace sings her song to the infant asleep
Patience waits by the bed til he wakes
Gentleness cradles the head so frail
Goodness prepares a meal for the child
and Discipline labors with Joy
to see this new life unfurl.

(for Owen and Dawn)
