Who is that Baby

Who is that baby that grows

So deep in a womb that shows

A world helpless  unable to manage.

Scattered with violence and carnage 

Who is that baby that needs such care

That needs both parents to love and share

To drag themselves from pained dispair

Who is that baby unable to fend

That needs a mother to love and tend

That needs a  father to protect

This tiny miraculous precious object

To make anew lifes special bond

Eyes of  blue and hair of blond

And trust that can never betrayed

For guidance to this little child

Newness so utterly meek and mild

Life creeps out as life creeps in

When one ends another begins

Which washes away societies sins
