Creator, for you are that and more, Of that precious life unknown before, We celebrate, clap hands, and shower With praises, for βtis you we admire.
The sounds of your childβs brazen cry Do not dishearten, but with a sigh, A breath, of acknowledged encumbrance, And your power soothes into a trance.
As your child dreams on, you smile A knowing kind of love, grace and style; These are your modes of admiration For the child of your creation.
Be godlike, preserver of nature; Whenever your child is unsure, Reassure him with your wit and charm, Your tender care, to keep him from harm.
A poem I wrote as a gift to my wife on her first Mother's Day (2011)
