Meeting a baby

One of my friends recently had a baby boy and today I had the great privilege of meeting him and being able to hold him. There's something very soothing about holding a baby. (Except when it cries of course, at which point I give it back to its mother, I clearly am not ready to have children.) Anyway, like I said there's something nice about holding a baby, I like the fact that they look really peaceful and innocent and sweet. I couldn't help thinking how much I wished my friends' baby the very best. He has lovely parents who are so kind and generous, so I am certain he does have a bright future ahead.  To me seeing babies in general gives me hope for the future and that thought gives me peace.
