The Look

Celebrations to honor you
seem so inadequate to express my gratitude
and my joy upon discovering
your existence.

In the midst of revelry
or the quietness of candlelight
I can look into your eyes
and respond to your inquisitive glance
with a reassuring and affirming look
to tell you how thankful I am
that you were born.

And when I see your parents next time,
I will give them a solid high five.
