Screams of pain are soothed by calming words. Sobbing pleas ask for the pain to stop. A needle provides a numbing cold. Time passes with hazy eyes. Excitement blossoms in the early morning.

Minutes slowly fade into foggy memories. As the final act carries out.

The baby scream out

Teas of joy, spread smiles

The three become one
