Absolutely one of the sweetest sounds ever and the greatest blessing of all. Three times for me and I adore my children. Perfect 5/7/5 and great alliteration in sweetest sound.
Good job Gretchen. Nancy

I heard it four times, luckily. I am currently working with my two teen aged daughters and I have to admit, I am going to hate for it to end. Gretchen

The birth of a new born baby is like a miracle and the effect it has on parents is stunning. Well chosen words to convey your thoughts and good complimentary illustration. Enjoyable read. Faye

The drawing and the poem are perfect together. A newborn baby is the most precious gift and they need to be protected and the drawing shows that protectiveness that a lot of parents have or at least some. Great read.

Comment from Bill Schott
This 5-7-5 captures that terrific moment when a brand new life chimes into the world with mighty lungs. The last line says it all as we realize that all clocks are reset to run on a baby's pace. I really like your expression here, Gretchen. Bill
