He is perfectly soft, easy to hold.
He is warm, infectiously so, of body and soul.
He smiles, a lot.
He cries, just a little.
He soothes the hearts of many.
Soon, he will throw a ball, spell a word, write a story, kiss a girl, walk to class on a crisp autumn morning, teach a younger a lesson, or maybe even save a life. Surely, he will. You just know he will.
All the while he will feed his family joy. Â And this is just, and right.
Perfect.
He was once frozen, confined in a playground of glass and sterility, alone. Â He was winter’s last icicle.
But now he is like the first warm day of spring.
A miracle.
He has 4 million brethren, and today one of the responsible scientists earned a nobel prize.
And this too is just. Because this much love and joy, times 4 million, equals a whole bunch of rightness. And our world is clearly better for it.
Thank you science.
Thank you, Dr Edwards.

Very good…..
John,
This was a beautiful tribute to a special scientist & a special child that was born because of this scientist's labor of love.
Thank you for making the effort to give praise to this Nobel winner & all the babies that have been given life to be loved & cherished. Because of his efforts, perhaps someday those babies may contribute miracles for the rest of humanity.
Love, Lorraine Kulpinski
