Sweet Niece Suite, for Coraline and Eliana

Sweet Niece Suite

A pair of acrostics to celebrate the two newest members of our family

Coraline

Commingling results in the creation

Of new life in the form of

Raging ecstasy embodied in

A soft, pudgy bundle

Love made manifest

Infinite joyful gift to her parents

Never again to be merely lovers, united in their devotion to an

Extraordinary daughter. 

Eliana

Every life is a miracle, but some more than others

Love yearns to perpetuate itself

In as many forms as possible

Anticipation renders delivery ever so sweet

No more waiting, only

Annual celebration of a perfect miracle made flesh
