Pink Joy
~~~ To Royal and Ezzelle~~~
with congratulations
Pink Joy
When I was six months pregnant
I knew a girl it would be.
They did no ultrasounds then,
it was just a feeling, you see.
I bought a wicker bassinette,
white and frilly pink.
So sure that it would be a girl.
My hubby didn't know what to think.
The second that I heard her cry
I said " Is she okay?"
knowing it would be a girl
before the doctor had a chance to say.
So wrapped in a pink blanket
they handed me my little one.
Within two minutes hubby changed his mind,
no longer wanting a son.
Within a day he had forgotten
that he actually wanted a boy
and you'd have thought it was his idea
to have this pink bundle of joy.
