My son has just arrived! My joy and vitality.
A blessing Marcello is, such labor ends in finality.
Harmony's a big sister now, sweet and kind to her sibling
The whole experience is so new for us, no distractions or dull quibbling
A role model for my son, without a doubt I must strive
A male leader, a father figure, a consoling soul's within my drive
Disappointment, I must avoid, yet failure is much inevitable
Mistakes will be made, but the outcome's more incredible
Everything's a learning process, I take serious this life at hand
Cradling his precious body, demands me to understand
Fragility, parent-dependent, these words written, have only surface grazed
Just be there, consistent, loving, dedicated, no need for praise
I look back at my childhood from the depths of my adult essence
How I move forward now, it's up to me if it adds or lessens
I admire at my son's beauty, his Azure Adolescence
Every decision from here on counts, it's a sure Adult Lesson...

Thank you for reading my poem in its entirety. Just wrote it the day after my son was born. Marcello was born 9:21 am September 27th Tuesday. Thank you all for all of your support. It feels great to be a father of two children now.
