For Natalie:

How quick the change is

A burst! Not being into

A cry, life begins

nj in progress

-Hannah

Voices, bodies spin

Time briefly captured, framed, hung

The warmth of laughter

Subtle beauty of

Houses on your blue sweater

Passion never ends

-Kim

For Jack


A burst of light, a rush of sounds
So many arms and hands

All you've known forever gone
The fear must be so great

With a cry we welcome you
The shiny newness of it all

-Kim
