Unmatched

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
