Why is today so different

This poem was written soon after the birth of my first born

Today is so different
Sun rose with a shiny grin

In there I saw, wrapped in gold, my son
Eyes so tiny, hands too small
These little feet so much like mine

WHY NOT TODAY BE DIFFERENT
JOSEPH, MY JOY, IS BORN ON THIS DAY
