*W*hen children are born it's a wonderous thing. *H*earing it's cry opens mothering love. *E*very new heartbeat reminds us of spring. *N*ew life, new hope from creator above.
*A*nyone being there around this place
*C*herishes memories, stores more to last. *H*oarding the smile of an innocent face, *I*nter-relating with memories past. *L*earning to know a wind-grin from a smile *D*eepens the contact and makes us feel great.
*I*n these deep moments we all have a while *S*miling and cooing to try and translate.
*B*ut all the laughter and joy that we know *O*pens in us 'cause a child made it so. *R*ight at the start when it made our heart sing, *N*obody questioned this feeling of love
*I*f we looked closer it would make our heads ring *T*o know what a treasure we've got from above.
*I*n wiser moments, that sweet little face *S*orts our soul-searching, erases our past.
*A*ll of our failings will go to a place,
*M*ended by one little smile that is vast. *I*n one split second they cure us of bile, *R*ages are buried and anger can wait. *A*fter a while we just echo that smile, *C*ured and forgetting all thought that was hate. *L*et us give thanks for this wonder, and know *E*very miracle child helps us grow.

Your mastery of the form is praiseworthy. I wonder why you've left the following lines as they are: "*I*f we looked closer it would make our heads ring / *T*o know what a treasure we've got from above." and "*E*very miracle child helps us grow."

*W*hen children are born it's a wonderous thing. - changes to
*E*very miracle child helps us grow.
bravo!
The love for a child is an amazing thing. It even survives the teenage years! Thank you for introducing us to this format!
I thought it was very good , then I saw the miracle and I am still crying tears of joy. Oh so wonderful!
