Baby Memories

The stories of my early babyhood Are surely second hand. I was too young to remember as I'm sure you'll understand. My parents had four sons before The day I came along. You can be sure that I was welcomed And for years could do no wrong. Those young brothers were as happy As were my mom and dad, That they had a baby siser Made everyody glad. My brothers ages four to ten Would hurry home each day Just to be sure I was still there, That I hadn't gone away. My brother Charlie, six years old The day I came aboard, Gazed at me and then exclaimed, "Now if we only had a Ford'. I have a picture at six months Sitting on my daddy's knee. He's looking down with such delight, I can see his pride in me. I don't think I have true memories Until I was nearly three, But the love surrounding me at birth, Today is still with me. The dear folks there to greet me On my long ago day of birth Are waiting in Heaven with the love They showered on me on Earth. For Caties "Baby Boo Shoes" contest
