blessings abound––
a second love child
of two love children
is born
the earth & sky are
smiling
it is the work
of we humans
to create heaven
on earth
there is no heaven
without babies
each child is
the rebirth of tenderness
blessing
seeds of love
with gentle & innocent
hands
each child
joins their brothers
& sisters of humanity
with fresh eyes
to share a new making
of hope & possibility
to build a better
world
with all their
might
this child, Domenico,
is blessed by a family
of love
flowering into this world
at this necessary time––
to quiet fear
to cure disease
to nurture
kindness
