Into our world precious newborns will come,
Their loved ones in awe of just where they've come from.
But once these new lives have established their place,
'Tis time to acknowledge life's less joyous face.

How daunting can be the cold challenge of life,
Uncertainty, sadness, and financial strife.
The answer to these troubling times, don't forget,
Is to lean on each other when balance gets upset.

Our troubles dissolve as good friends bring the light,
The sunshine floods in and the nighttime takes flight.
Once more comes the time when the children are blessed,
With the wonder and curious deeds of their quest.

Consider the richness that shapes who they'll be,
Just try to imagine all they'll hear and see,
Isn't it grand then, to know and to say,
That your child learns in an Aa to Zz way!
