Sonnet: When A Child's Born… Poem by Dr John Celes

What joy enters a home when child is born!
What happiness fills hearts of parents both!
Like break of dawn on Christmas Day's great morn,
The miracle of human child-birth doth.

God's gift of precious life is baby new;
The child makes marriage blossom from a bud;
The tears of joy fill eyes of mom like dew;
The newborn's cry brings smiles to hearts so good.

The child is link to parents' nuptial bond;
The child is solace worth more than all wealth;
The child brings dreams true like a fairy's wand;
The little one improves both parents' health.

There is no bliss superior to a child,
As newborn makes the human fold grow wild.
