Joy and Understanding

Birth is arduous
screaming pain
until life is released.
But re-birth! re-birth!
is altogether different.
Re-birth is life re-discovering
its strength.
Re-birth is renewal, uplifting
like a million stars glittering in the night sky.
Re-birth knows no boundaries,
it brings limitless possibilities for joy and understanding.
So after you are born--
here you are little child!
you will grow and grow
and you need never
give up hope,
no matter what comes,
for re-birth is always waiting
just around the corner
for you, my precious precious little one.
