My friend and his wife ushered their second child into the world this morning: Connor. Shortly after receiving the good news and the below picture I wrote the following poem and sent it off to the proud parents and older sister.
Welcome to the world, new little one.
It may seem all big and blurry now,
Soon you’ll be having a ton of fun,
With crawling and climbing and playing.
Welcome to the world, baby boy Stein.
There is no need to furrow your brow,
Your sister and parents will align,
To ensure you want for nothing.
Welcome to the world, tiny Connor.
You will be loved by all, this I vow,
Brilliance and comedy and honor,
And your cup will be overflowing.

Tht was very sweet and lovely one ! Best wishes for the parents of the new born! and God bless the baby!
Thank you!
A lovely poem to welcome the beautiful baby to this world!
Thank you and thanks for commenting.
Very nice poem here!
Congrats to your friend and his wife 🙂
Thank you! They’ll get everyone’s well wishes next time he stops by my blog. For some reason I’m thinking he has other pressing matters to attend to at the moment. 🙂
I do, and I appreciate all the sentiment.
Pressing matters? That’s an understatement. Parenting is a demanding career (with all the yummy perks). Your friend won’t surface for air for at least two decades. Cute baby and cute poem. 🙂
An understatement? Well, yeah, you’re probably right. 😉 Thanks for the comment.
I’m a multi-tasker. And I do agree that parenting is one of the toughest jobs but also the most rewarding.
I’m doing it all over again and loving it. That is, I thought I was off duty, but I’ve been reinstated as grandma-in-waiting to 4 grandchildren.
