Is That You Mumma
Mumma, is that new face finally you?
You look so silly willy, nothing like I expected.
Thank you, you never once ever kept me neglected,
but talked to me in your belly daily and all night through.
Do I have chestnut eyes like daddy, so sweet?
Or maybe, like you, have long curly auburn hair?
I guess it doesn’t matter because I know you do care
about the ten itty-bitty fingers and toes on my tiny feet.
You look so familiar, yet you look so bizarre!
I hope I grow to have the smile of my big brother,
and I pray he treats me like he’d rather have no other.
I may look at you strange…but mumma, you are my bright star.
Thank you mumma for giving birth to special me-
For you created me from love with a forever guarantee.
