the baby wailed
to say cheers to life
on birth
in a seemingly
alien world.
The mother smiled
to welcome
and integrate him
inextricably
in her life
The father
celebrated
his new role
with a vague idea
of what will follow.
birds fly off the nest
leaving behind sighs
they started a family
with unmatched expectations
of uncertain time frames

Beautiful. The reality of life.
