Welcome Bobby

[Clif]

baby, baby don't you cry
wipe those tears from you eye
brothers and sister are still asleep
mom and dad are counting sheep

the whole world is well aware
all things you wish to share
please be patient my little son
for your life has just begun

the joy that you will bring
will make you a loving king
in the morning when all awake
song and dance we shall make

A new baby or grand baby, perhaps? Among the sweetest gifts in the world. Congratulations!

[Clif]

Thanks, not mine (I wish). My business partner's new son -- 4 of 4. They call me "Clif Man". I love babies.

Sweet, insightful poem about a wonderful event. Thank you for sharing.

[Clif]

Thank you for your comments. Not my baby, my business partner's. His third child I wrote a note (below). He has 4 kids, all under 5 years old. His mother is Russian to put the note into context. He named his second child after "Sam Houston", third child after "Davy Crocket", and this last child after "Bob Hope". He lives in Texas.
