An Extension

A new life, a bundle of joy
your flesh, your blood
your love, your life
this little child, an individual
is yet an extension of you

A new life, a bundle of joy
your hair, your eyes
your laugh, your cry
this little child, a separate life
is yet an extension of you

A new life, a bundle of joy
mirroring your smile
reflecting your love
being your life
this little child, this life that is new
will always be an extension of you
