A New Born Child

Just as two breaths become one breath
As two whispers become a cry
Miracle before us lies
The glory of a new-born child
These half-closed eyes already see
Looking without looking within
A testament of truth before, before our eyes
The glory of a new-born child
This place, where life’s long path begins
If they be princes, queens, or kings
Laid helpless here at mother’s side
The glory of a new-born child
