the auxesis of birth and the partial-creator bonding in allowed time
A man looketh on his little one as a being of better hope; in himself ambition is dead, but it bathes a resurrection in his son.

thank you all for the lovely comments here! you know i am thoroughly appreciative!
i snapped about 10-13 photographs of this adorable baby. in fact, i think this family was Jamaican considering as though i recognized the mother and father's accents. this was quite fun, and at one point, the baby looked at me, smiled and contorted his body/head a bit to see what i was playing with (the camera)...
