Creator, for you are that and more,
Of that precious life unknown before,
We celebrate, clap hands, and shower
With praises, for β€˜tis you we admire.

The sounds of your child’s 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)
