My friend and his wife gave birth to a wee boy last night... and I was looking to put a nice quote or a poem that would highlight the joy of birth/parenthood/sleep deprivation...

Help me Obi-Wan-Finsnobi.... you are my only hope....

    Life gives birth to happiness
    by Nikhil Parekh

    Clouds give birth to tantalizing droplets of rain;
    pacifying the murderous agony of scorching desert
    sands,
    Rose gives birth to stupendously ravishing fragrance;
    casting a spell of unconquerable happiness in those
    lives; deluged with horrendous despair,
    Sun gives birth to magnificently flamboyant rays;
    filtering a path of profuse optimism in every space;
    tottering towards helpless extinction,
    Soil gives birth to rhapsodic fountains of fruit and
    water; ensuring that none remained disastrously
    famished; for centuries immemorial,
    Ocean gives birth to tantalizingly tangy globules of
    salt; inundating drab existence with cloudbursts of
    spice and insurmountable poignancy,
    Stars give birth to an incredulously serene calm;
    miraculously metamorphosing the complexion of the
    ghastly night; into one shimmering with milky pearls,
    Leaves give birth to exuberantly fluttering breeze;
    enveloping dreary souls in its ebulliently vociferous
    swirl; as it merrily whipped by,
    Benevolence gives birth to invincible humanity;
    incessantly reigning as the supreme leader; even as
    the planet entangled in webs of lechery and salacious
    malice,
    Freedom gives birth to the innermost expression; the
    mesmerizing fulmination of a persons senses; which
    propels him to blissfully lead an infinite more lives,
    Mother gives birth to the perpetually divine; the
    immaculately wailing offspring for which; God’s
    specially descended down from fathomless cosmos to
    bless,
    Truth gives birth to harmonious unity; organisms from
    all across the unfathomable planet; embracing each
    other irrespective of prejudice; caste or creed,
    Honesty gives birth to intransigent conviction; an
    astronomical within the most feeble of entities; to
    catapult to the pinnacle of ultimate success,
    Fantasy gives birth to turbulently seductive desire;
    relentlessly exploring and absorbing the unsurpassable
    beauty lingering on this planet,
    Perseverance gives birth to glorious rays of newness;
    evolving and achieving even the most inconspicuous of
    your philanthropic dream; as golden perspiration
    trickled under the sweltering Sun,
    Faith gives birth to the incomprehensibly
    unbelievable; with man successfully shooting to the
    summit of the impossible; uttering the name of the
    entity he adored,
    Conscience gives birth to irrefutable righteousness;
    which the even the entire wealth on this spuriously
    bombastic world; miserably failed to purchase,
    Eyes give birth to profoundly caressing empathy;
    wholeheartedly commiserating and bonding; with even
    the most remotest of alien in devastating pain,
    Love gives birth to indispensably precious survival;
    the everlasting spirit to celestially exist; beyond
    ones ordinary time,
    And life gives birth to perennial happiness; an
    unconquerably sacred joy and bliss that makes each
    birth; exist in symbiotic synergy with the bountifully
    divine…

    Why... "With Arms Wide Open" of course :D
















    On second thought... go for Parekh
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    cheers for looking though fins... appreciate it.

    I should have said that I want to write it on the card I bought for them also... I was gonna take the lines below

    "And life gives birth to perennial happiness; an
    unconquerably sacred joy and bliss that makes each
    birth; exist in symbiotic synergy with the bountifully
    divine…"

    but if you or anyone else have any other ideas...great

    I also though about last few lines or so of "If" by Kipling.... but thought it might be a bit twee and stiltony
