Ella Louise.
Warm, soft-scented, fragile,
helpless.
Ella.
A new sound vibrates through our family rooms.
New shape and colour to our lives.
A necessary shuffling of labels,
an adjustment of status to accommodate her.
Child to parent,
parent to grandparent.
Grand-parents spun further
to the outer rim of the Wheel.
The greatest transition.
The most meaningful rite.
Birth.
