In my hands lays a life
In this life is power and in the power is the opportunity
And the opportunity is greatness.
How often as one small lone voice changed the course of history for ever
How often has one small deed done by just one person changed the lives of so many for so long?
And yet all this is thrust into my hands in just a moment of time
It is thrust in my hands in the form of the most innocent, fragile and beautiful creature that god has created – a new born baby.
A baby with no more or less chance in the world than the other baby that was born just the other day
A baby whose beauty far surpasses that of the father’s dreams and whose grace, discipline and potential shall be forged in the fires of life.
But what is it worth to forge a life if you can’t grow it in wisdom.
So to this new born baby with all the potential, and all the trust and love that the world could provide in just one person I say: “I shall lead with Joy so you can follow with glee”
