New Life

Staring at his newborn,
He was overwhelmed with pride and love.
His eyes welled up,
And he felt his baby's vulnerability.
A fierce urge to protect her arose in him.
He who scorned risk management,
Suddenly swore to work doubly hard.
To get protection of all forms,
ANYTHING - to ensure a legacy for his precious little girl!

Reaching out for their newborn,
She held her close to her breast.
The little soft body felt so warm,
It stirred up strange feelings in her.
This little helpless being they have created together,
Depended on them for everything.
She looked at him, who was looking at mother and child.
Their eyes locked, and both made the same vow,
To protect this precious bundle - at ALL costs!
