Baby's strange arrival.
She coos
With that vacant look
Infants sport.
Oblivious except for
The sense of welfare
In parents' Aroma
And chuckles.
As if remembering
Another world of
Nine months
Of juices, lullabies
Heartbeat.
The pressed hand
Caressing through
Fleshly partition.
Baby Elizabeth.
Another Queen
Always attaining
Her desire.
Always compelling service.
With cherubic smiles.
