This haiku brings to mind one of the most miraculous things that can ever happen, becoming a parent. Although I had a son, this haiku takes me back to that first time I saw him. I looked at his beautiful face and touched his tiny hands. There is no way anyone can describe that moment to another. The amount of love that I felt was like no another. It was instinctively immeasurable. The beginning of a journey of love. Diane
