A poem inspired by my newborn niece Aila.

 Hidden, moving, breathing, growing, silently, slowly
 symbols of promise, and hope
 changing lives completely …
  
 Numerous born in difficulty; some with ease.
 Resilient champions from the hidden depths;
 Suddenly bursting forth into the world,
  
 Each deserving of the best opportunities
 Countless more privileged than others.
 Varying conception stories …
 Yet all divinely destined to be a part of humanity.
