Beautiful verses that with a great tenderness give the images of a holy birthday, the meaning of a new life of a child that will never dim and will give the light to humans.
I like very much this poem.
Congratulations.

I need to tell you how much I enjoyed your poem "Upon New found Eyes". One of the things I would say about it is that it is very inspirational. From the beginning into the middle and on through the end. The Christ Child is a subject that is familiar to all of us and one we can't ignore:.
"Oh Holy Child your light will never dim,
for you are home wherever glory lives"
We have all had a few times when things were tough but God just placed a big blessing in our lap. Thanks for sharing. May God bless You.

This is wonderful. The entire package is wonderful from the font, color, background and image. The star is the poem. Wonderful word choices and I love emotion in the message here.

This is a nice sonnet, the language is beautifully composed and expressed the syllable count is accurate, except for 1st stanza, line blessed or is it bless-ed, you should stress the word, the rhyming has too proximates, (imperfect rhymes) this has great potential with a little tightening, I loved it, very well written, just needs a little work! Ever since I joined the site 12 months ago, it's made a big difference to my writing, blessings and welcome! Roy.

This appears to be a well written and thought-out sonnet. The world, as seen through the eyes of a babe. It is good when fathers take an interest in their offspring, particularly their son's.
