The nurse held the tiny creature,
Admiring its little features,
Covered in translucent and cheese-like moisture.

Although it is a few months premature,
It still is a beauty of nature,
As it evolves to be mature. 

The nurse smiles for its adventure,
As she ponders of its upcoming future,
To create its own signature.

Before the nurse's departure,
She took a mental picture,
And whispered a silent lecture:

"The world may have vultures,
But hold on to the wonder,
The hope that persists in our culture,
Because we always need a little reminder,
That our humanity needs to be recaptured."
