A Baby’s Born

A baby's born and no one knows

How life will treat him as he grows.

Parents nurture and protect,

Not knowing what they can expect.


There’ll be problems, joys and tears

Scattered through the passing years,

Every milestone firmly etched

More than all the times he kvetched.


Childhood days will somehow end

And time together you did spend

Will disappear into the past,

Your baby an adult at last.


This knowledge might just give you pause.

I think of this today because 

This is the date my now-grown son

Was born, our family just begun.
