Mother's Consternation Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Watching the beauty and wonder of a newborn baby, seeing the
preciousness of life itself in this tiny little one, knowing
that it will be nurtured and loved by mom and dad.

Hopefully that love will continue throughout their entire life-
time enchanted and curious about everything, wanting to investi-
gate every detail their senses feel, see, hear and taste.

Having no fear in doing so, much to the consternation of their
mother's in a few short months when they are up and walking all
over the place and getting into everything they see.
