The Birthdays

The Birthdays You came into the world in the afternoon A tiny bundle with red tuff of fine hair Ready to leave your safe and warm cocoon Not fussy, life entered with little flare We prayed for you and God provided great Joy A slim long bundle of happiness, God's blessing We were full of love and gratefulness, my boy Wonderful companion so much love overflowing From you came this little boy who added much Adorned with such wonderful physical traits Downy skin, strong finger grips, powerful touch Born with minutes to spare ALMOST late for the date. Two generations remembered by the third Clear as a crystal nothing at all blurred Collaborative poem written by Sara Kendrick And Doris Culverhouse First Stanza: Sara Second Stanza: Doris Third Stanza first two lines: Sara Third Stanza last two lines: Doris Summary couplet: Sara

Two is better than one, you all did great -- the miracle of birth shared by family is a special time to celebrate. All the best.
