A Lovely Baby Boy

A LOVELY BABY BOY (For Supei, Yong Chye, Hock San and all family and friends) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A special day for all to know: A baby boy in early hours, A lovely way to shine and show, A time for joy both yours and ours. A time for cheer to live love's plan: A space for grace to touch each face, A feeling here that sparkles grand, A fond embrace in time and space. A new dad styles his fondest gaze: A brave mummy feels happy now, A time for smiles from hearts amazed, A family baby endows. Ah Kong feels proud to share this tale: "A day for me to tell the world, A face most loud as love avails, A touch set free as Christmas swirls." Here's to Supei, a mother dear, Cheers to Yong Chye, with curious eyes, Simon now says: "Ah Kong is here!" Now we know why with happy sighs. A fond blessing at Christmas time: A lovely boy for all to know, A new meaning for merry chimes, A living joy with love that shows. "May all your days be filled with grace: May love and light surround good cheer, May rainbow rays fill your fine face, May faith give sight to you my dear." Leon Enriquez 26 December 2016 Singapore (Note: *"Ah Kong" in the Chinese dialect, Hokkien from native Fujian province, means Grandfather. My brother-in-law from my wife's side, is today a happy grandfather of a bouncing baby boy, fondly nicknamed "Xiao Chye" or in simpler terms, Little Chye.)
