Newly Born Poem by graham russell

Newly Born

Rating: 5.0


what do children truly think
as they enter the world at birth
do sounds and smells assail them
do eyes see and know what they see

as a mother holds them close
gazes into eyes so new
as a father holds them
as tears flow from joy

how strange it must seem
to one newly born
to see so much
in just a touch

to feel so many things
yet not know what
these things be

a caress what is this
a kiss to seal the bond
a finger to hold onto
what do these things
mean to a newly born.

newly born ones are miracles...a touch, a smile, at their first cry...hmn...so innocent, so fragile...they bring joy....well expressed, Graham!
