New Arrival

by George Washington Cable

George Washington Cable's "A New Arrival" is a short poem that celebrates the arrival of a new baby and the profound joy and responsibilities it brings to a father. The poem expresses a sense of awe and wonder at the newborn child, recognizing the transformative power of fatherhood and the unique bond between parent and offspring. It also emphasizes the importance of education for both boys and girls, particularly in nurturing the qualities of responsibility, unbiased judgment, and love that are essential for good parenting. The poem's simple yet moving language makes it an enduring testament to the universal experience of fatherhood and its place within the larger framework of human connection and growth.
