A New Baby In Australia

This is an event grander than any other. A friend of mine has become a grandmother. A girl was born to her son and daughter-in-law. This is the cutest baby anyone ever saw. Eight pounds, nine ounces, and fifty-one centimeters in length, this baby girl named Ashley is the picture of strength. This is a most blessed event. There is a new life on the Australian continent.

I finally saw the note you had left me at that poem where I had once asked you who Leolee was. (I rarely see people's comments to my comments, don't know why Soup has that feature) Anyway, I'm glad I finally caught what you had told me, to go read this poem you wrote for her daughter. You did a REALLY good tribute. She should put it on her baby announcements!!

Thank you Bob for the lovely tribute. My beautiful granddaughter is such an Angel, she has won everyone's heart but especially mine. Holding her in my arm's was priceless. Smile!

Beautifully written poem to a newborn baby Robert, nice one. My poem 'Water Colours in the Rain' was inspired by Roxette from Sweden. By the way, Al Stewart is in my collection. A superb Scottish Singer/Songwriter if I may say so. 'The Year of the Cat' is sheer class....:)
