To a First Time Mother,

I received this poem in a card.  It touched my heart, and I hope it touches yours as well.

Relax my dear, your little elf

is just an amateur himself.

So if your hands, so newly filled with tasks

Seem somewhat less than skilled,

Relax, I say. This little pinkling

Doesn't have the slightest inkling

That you are new to baby lore--

He's never had a MOM before.
